hey i just changed it to 1203 or whateva im downloading 4 files because im trying to download 2 movies but they are spit up into 4 files but one is downloading at 21kb/s and the other one is still at 4 so it helped a bit but not much

oh and the one thats not downloading to fast is still downloading from 5 hosts so yea kinda odd

Also keep in mind the p2p client programs that might be a part of your sources. Some, such as Shareaza (RAZA) use most of their upld bandwidth on a different network, thus getting 0.01 to 3 KB/s from them is not unusual. (If you wish to see the clients you're downldg from, right-click on the top of the columns & select Vendor. This will show an xtra column.)

Also sharing from multiple hosts, well some might just be offering a small amount each.

Remember, if you have search or browse results still up you can reselect the file to downld after stopping it. This sometimes re-invigours the downld. More hints & skills about downlding here (see all the off-shoot links): To continue files downlding (click on link)

As for isp's blocking or filtering speeds, well some are known to target specific programs. As you can see here: ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

Hey Octavian
There are many Speedtouch routers so just tell me what model is it
Speedtouch 510 v4.0
Speedtouch 510 v4.2
Speedtouch 510 Alt
Speedtouch 530
Speedtouch 540
Speedtouch 545
Speedtouch 570 v1.0
Speedtouch 570 v2.0
Speedtouch 570 v4.2
Speedtouch 608
Speedtouch Firewall

It must be one of these ones above

All what it says is alcatel speedtouch 510
does that help?

ok go to these links and they might help you
http://www.portforward.com/alcatel/st510.htm
http://www.portforward.com/alcatel/st510v42.htm
http://www.portforward.com/alcatel/st510alt.htm
and click on what program you want to portforward for example limewire and follow the instruction for your modem

If this didnt help then there is a problem with your ISP or your computer

but why lilthugz? I mean why do I need portforwarding now and I didn't need it back then? this is what I don't get

I called my ISP they told me nothing was wrong (of course I can choose to not believe them) and I don't remember doing anything to change the settings of my computer

Can a virus or something exist that slows down just p2p??

Octavian try downlding a magnet link from this site here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us what speeds you get. If you wish to see potential speeds you can get from that site then see Stief’s example: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...692#post138692

hey lord,

I tried downloading, but nothing seems to move.

It just keeps looking for sources which I find strange, don't you think?

Definitely odd! That sounds not good! Ominous in fact! If not your isp then ... perhaps a connection device but hmm! This might not do anything but did you try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

It sounds more to me like your isp is using a p2p filter. Trying another client like Bearshare might be interesting.
