Im having an incredibly annoying problem, even though i have 2.3mbps ADSL and several hosts downloading from the dl speed just hovers in between 0kbps and 3kbps(but mainly just stay at 0kbps) it started doin this last night n im half way through some downloads. It doesnt matter what i try and downlaod though. everything does the same thing.

Can anyone shed light on my problem?

It's difficult to know why. It could be due to a no. of reasons.

Sometimes closing LW & re-opening will allow you to connect thru different peers & thus get better speeds.

Else, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Try downlding a magnet link file from here to see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

BTW did you look at the Sticky at the top of this section.

I'm having the same problem, i tried all the fixes, even when i downloaded from magnetmix i only got speeds of 0-3kb/s.

With so many people having similar problems it must be something to do with LW, there must be some sort of bug that can be fixed in the program. I didnt mind when i was using basic but now i'm using pro its beginning to get on my nerves.

"tried all fixes" huh!? Have you tried port forwarding? Did you enable LW full clearance thru your firewalls? Did you add 3rd party XP SP2 patches? Have you checked your isp provider hasn't started filtering p2p sharing?
As the forum rules state, it's very difficult to help when few details are provided.

LW has full clearance thru the firewall, i havnt patched anything, plz explain port forwarding, im on Tiscali so if anyone else is using tiscali and your also having problems plz say

I haven't downloaded any patches for xp service pack, lw has clearance through my firewalls, asked ntl do they have any p2p filtering they say no dont know if they are truful, dont know what the other one about ports is, but i followed the sticky as best as i could.

Ive been looking for some answers and ive found out that due to a court order Tiscali have been forced to cap uploads/downloads, if you ring em up your just likely to get ''everythings fine'', wot you definatly wont get is a FREAKIN STRAIGHT ANSWER!

im very annoyed!

I have the same problem aswell! Im on tiscali and i have Limewire Pro. i have a 1.1 MB connection speed but averaging the same as every1 esle! i dnt have a clue wots going on!

i also am on tiscali 512kbps was dl at approx 60 kbps up till two days ago now 3/4 kbps if im lucky

HEY PPL GOT GREAT NEWS I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS HAD IT MYSELF ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS

TOOLS--> OPTIONS--> ADVANCED--> FIREWALL CONFIG--> AND CHANGE BOTH PORTS TO 80

it tricks the Fu**Ck**ers at TISCALI in to thinking your downloading from HTTP

anyway enjoy your speeds once again
