1500 BoardBand but download slow
 

i had 1500 bd but i dl every items for onli 1-10kb ( around 10 host )...Which mean i had 2 dl 1 games for 1-2 whole day...i using router and Zonealarm and 1 can help?

i go Tools>option>advanced>firewall Config
- I click manual port "80" ( i foward on my router )
- i go make listen port "80" ( but it say "port nt available,Please select a diffenent port" so i left it back to "6349"

-But my dl speed still around 1-10kb even have 10 host

ThX =)

Don't get confused between your isp speed & the speed LW shows. isp's quote speed in kilo bits per second (kbps) whereas LW quotes speed in Kilo Bytes per second (KB/s) To get a true indicator of your speed do a speed test. Choose one nearest you http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ & if speed is quoted in kbps then divide it by 8 to give KB/s. Generally you'll lose about 20% overhead quoted by isp's & divide that by 8.

But that doesn't answer why your downld speeds are slow.

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)

Can you answer these questions:
1. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
2. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
3. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
4. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
5. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
6. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
7. After LW's been open at least 15 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

I off my firewall ( no firewall ) but it still same

I didn't see your edited post before I replied. "False" means there's something wrong. It's either your firewall configuration or it's your router. I presume your router does not use UPnP right? And that's why you manually port forwarded. BTW there's lots of other ports you can try. Here's some examples: 1111, 3500, 4008, 1203, 10000, 15189, 80, 20282, 22817, 443, 34599, 40475. Some others: 8360, 19515, 20285, 22091, 25079, 33049, 42628.

When you did your port forwarding, did you set up a static ip 1st? This is most important otherwise the port forwarding won't work after you reconnect the 1st time. And also within LW's firewall settings to tick the manual port forward option. You can only port forward one port for one computer, ie: if you wanted to use LW on the other computer, you'd need to use a different port for port forwarding for that computer.

I would also recommend updating your LW to 4.9.33

(ISP = Internet Service Provider ... the company who you connect thru.)

thx 4 reply again

i using upnp..static ip?192.168.**.***?

isp:singnet?

I edited your address b/c it's not a good idea to post it on a public forum for safety reasons. I'm not sure if that's a legitimate static address or not.

When you did your port forwarding, did you do a separate port forwarding for both TCP & UDP. This is generally recommended rather than choosing both in the single port forward. If you couldn't connect via port 80, then there's a chance your isp is blocking it. You'd need to ask their permission to unblock it.

AFAIK Singnet is not a known isp that blocks gnutella ports or filters/shapes/blocks p2p users. Which doesn't mean they don't do it.

I'd suggest you recheck your static ip instructions & even redo it. Then do the port forwarding again. Are you using windows XP? If you are, I hope you disabled the XP firewall, & configured the Zonealarm firewall as per the link I gave above.

how to check my isp? (sry i stupid )

how to check static ip izzit the 192.***.***.***

First 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses are private, no need to protect them.

Nasuki: your problem for speed is not that you are firewalled. Being unfirewalled helps, but you can get 100KB/s easily firewalled with the firewall to firewall transfers in LW.

So is your ISP limiting P2P traffic?
Are you connecting at your home, university or work? (the latest two often limit dl and upload speed of P2P apps)

Try Bearshare lite, if it is faster, prob is LW.

Also try Ares galaxy, might not be limited by your ISP/config

Ciao

i tried bearshare ...is tranfer rate is diffenent from lw...

bearlite - 1kbps - 900kbps
Lw - 1kp/s - 10kb/s

10kbps-1kb


i tink is still the same

i tink i use bearlite after i download my games finish from lw

Thx guy...God bless u all =)

Bearshare might be better for you. I use Lite and it works great.
I got cable broadband and my speed seems to be 20k on a normal day. I dont think you need to reconfig anything, thats pretty much how cable speed is these days. 10-20k in Limewire a little higher in Bearshare. Cable isnt as speedy as everyone thinks. ;)
