Question Slow Downloading

I am getting a 0KB/s when trying to download songs. They are taking anywhere from 5-13 hrs. to download. I have tried many suggestions previously posted and they are not working. I use to be able to download a song in 5-10 min. then all of a sudden it started taking forever. I even upgraded to Limewire Pro and it is not helping. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

See To continue files downlding (click on link) Try searching for other sources. Generally you should choose those with 3 or 4 stars & lots of sources under the # column from the search results.

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false then something like a firewall is partially blocking LW.

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

I have my setting to only show me 4 star ratings.

I am getting a "false" on the bug report, but cannot figure out if I have a firewall or not. When i go to my network connections, properties, advanced there is nothing in there about a firewall. I do have something on there called a Packet Scheduler. It controlls network traffic control, including rate-of-flow and prioitization service. Could that be what is making me have this problem?

Thanks,

I don't know what that is but it sounds like it might be contributing to your problem.

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider?
