Hi i have limewire pro and i have 256 kbps ADSL Connection and i used to get 20 kbps max download speed but now i get 6 kbps download speed and i downloaded from the 10 hosts but still the same 6 kbps can anyone here please help??????????

You're confusing kbps with KB/s. kbps = kilo bits per second. whereas KB/s = Kilo Bytes per seconds. There's 8 bits in a byte.

You have the same speed as me. I get 27 KB/s total after overhead loss. It can vary depending on how far you are from the phone exchange.

I get everything now my isp is throttling my speed from p2p but i get good speed from http and its 30 KB/S max and my isp said they only throttle the p2p speed from 1pm to 1am and after 1am i get 20 KB/S max well thats sounds good for a cheap internet lol

Who is your isp provider? That's interesting they admit to filtering it. Sometimes they admit it, sometimes not. So your isp does not filter p2p during off-peak times.

Yeah thats right i was downloading from limewire a file on midnight the speed was gone to 30 kb/s so its very good to leave my downloading at midnight and during the day download from http websites
But i want to change my plan to 1 MB/S plan and 10 GB usage do u think its a good idea to change it because they said if i use this plan they wont throttle my p2p downloads and what speed would i get from limewire?

I get a download of either nothing of 1-2 kb/s

About 2 weeks ago, I could download 1 GB of data in a day

Now it's taking forever to download a 4mb clip!!!!

I can't even download the magnetmix scenes!!!

Can anybody help??

Well tell us what type of connection you use and whats the speed and does your isp limit your speed I mean limit your p2p speeds?
Well my isp limit the speed during the day which i get about 5kb/s max but at night they dont limit the speed and my speed goes 30 kb/s max on any p2p program so i just play on http during the day and download from p2p at night

Oh no, they don't limit the speed at all

I had LW for two months with a connection of 512 kbps. I used to get like 20-30 kb/s until last week, and now I get most of the time no download or a short download of a very slow speed of 1-2 kb/s

Which is weird! why does that happen if i didn't change any settings???

Well you must ask your ISP about this
and I think you have to do a portforwarding
and what program are you using for your p2p?
Does the file you are downloading have enough sources?
Check your firewall?
Check for spyware or viruses

I don't think there's a problem with the ISP 'cause I can download files from other sites.

I'm using LimeWire 4.8.1 pro.

I used to have kazalite resurection before it, it was slow (still is) and rarely downloads

when I downloaded Limewire, it was really fast, I longer had to wait days to download something simple, just minutes for songs and over night for video clips.

As for viruses, I have no virus scan, but I did check for adware and removed it, nothing changed.

Someone suggested that I change the ports, but I have no idea how to do that.

The thing is I'm more like surprised!!! How could this happen all of a sudden???

It's like you had electricity and just one moment it was off!!!
