These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 My ISP uses PPoE and when I was checking through my router settings to disable my SPI firewall, I noticed a setting for the MTU. This was set to 1500 and it recommends 1492 for PPoE. I just changed it to that setting and it worked fine after that.  |

 Need help w/ slow connection (data inside) i plucked the following questions from this thread, and hope with my answers someone might be able to help. my connection is painfully slow (with .mpg files and 6 hosts i get up to 90KB/s d/l - but single-source files are almost always <5, most often 0-3 .. VERY rare occasions 40. i also notice people are getting pathetic upload speeds from me - and would like to help frustrated others who want files from me too! 1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98) XP Pro 2. What firewalls you have? Sygate 3. How much ram? 512 MB 4. Hard Disk space available? 28 GB 5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) cable (~3.5 KB/s) 6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? Netgear WGB511 7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? home 8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.8.1 - 1.4.2 9. Who is your isp provider? comcast 10. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. first try (but problem the same as before recent addition of router) ** had given limewire full access in sygate, but not via advanced settings. went to advanced and 'act as client - act as server' were both checked (for both netgear and limewire) as was 'allow ICMP' - there are no values entered (i'm now in over my head when going beyond what i thought was full access with a basic check) ** XP firewall is not enabled limewire won't allow copy/paste of bug report (how do other people do it? typing all that or allowed in pro version or...?) but here is some data (don't know what's important...) connected - true ultrapeer connections - 3 acting as shielded leaf - true active uploads - 1 active managed d/l - 2 active HTTP downloaders - 2 rcvd incoming this session - false shared files 617 guess capable - false rcvd solicited UDP - true simpp version - 7 port stable - false TWT capable - false last reported port - 4692 external port 6346 IP pongs rcvd - 197 i've had computers for 20 years, but am am new to cable, P2P, router.. not technical and this area is completely foreign to me. in other words, i'm not an idiot, but i'm an idiot. thanks for any help! jill |

| Hi Jill, We need to get your Received Incoming This Session saying true instead of false. Disable your SPI firewall on the router and then try. Also change your MRU setting to 1492 and try. If that doesnt try 1400. Let us know if it doesnt work. Rob. |

| the problem existed before i intalled the router two days ago, i.e. the router didn't worsen the problem. that's why my ignorant lay-person's guess is that there's something in my firewall or other config that's the problem. (and - i don't know how to disable the router firewall - netgear walked me through installation...) sadly, i have no clue where to find the MRU setting - because i don't know what it is. i know how hard it is when clueless people ask for help ... jill |

| i installed limewire a couple of weeks ago and went through reading and tweaking since then. the problem has always been the same. i had disabled the firewall and it made no difference, tried it again now, and same. i never uninstalled and reinstalled limewire, though will try that tomorrow if it seems it could be worth a shot. i know to preserve incomplete files and the downloads.dat file - anything else? should i call comcast and ask if there's anything on their end, re P2P? i looked at a listing and comcast got a user thumbs-up for P2P. guess i want to try everything possible before messing w/ my newly-installed router. i had posted about this problem last week before i even set up the router - and i'm concerned i'll end up with netgear tech support to bail me out (though they were fine....) thanks for your input, bob. jill |

| What are the download speeds you are getting again? Completely remove limewire and then reinstall the program (do a search of your hard drive for limewire and delete all folders call that). The main one that holds all the settings is called ".limewire" and this is located in the root of your user account folder (eg C:\Documents and Settings\Rob). If you delete this before a complete reinstall and then launch limewire again it will ask you some setup questions. Give it a try then post the results here. Rob. |

 having same problem I am having the same problem with excessively slow download speeds. I have always had download speeds not in excess of 15 kb/s. I do not upload to this network, as my firewalls do not allow connections to my computer. I use Symantec Corporate AV, ZoneAlarm, and a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. The problem existed before any of these protections. I used NIS and NAV before. The problem cannot by caused by spyware. I use Spybot S&D (1.3) and SpywareBlaster (3.4), the best programs known to the computer world. Any information would help.  |
