I just started running Limewire, and it seems to be working fine, but for a couple of key probs:

1) My uploads keep getting stalled out with "Transfer Interrupted!" messages. At first, they were just really slow (~6.0 KB/s alternating with 0.0 KB/s), which was annoying but doable. Then, about halfway thru the first song someone was trying to download, it started getting interrupted. They would keep reconnecting and being able to download another percentage point of the file, but then be interrupted again. Obviously this has got to be annoying for the person on the other end, and makes my shared files basically worthless. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I'm at a university connected by ethernet (TI). I know that the univerisity blocked uploads of Napster when it was big (I could download but the sharing didn't work), could this be the problem here (Since it was at least going slowly at first, I thought it was ok)? Also, can I get around it by putting my IP address into the Forced IP slot in the options as if I'm behind a firewall? I tried this but it didn't seem to help. If anyone has any idea, please let me know.

2) Also, I'm wondering if my setup is messed up, 'cause even my downloads are really slow. As I said, I have an ethernet connection (yes, it's awesome), but the downloads are much, much slower than what I've seen in the past.

Thanks!
