I am having the same issue. I clicked on the above audio file link and my download speed was still only 1kbs. If I use Opera to download a file I am getting speeds of 540kbs on average.

My operating system is Windows xp.

I have tried unistalling and reinstalling LW because it was also freezing up.

I eventually moved it to a new external harddrive with a 2.0 connection. This was due to me running out of harddrive space.

I still am having the same issues. At times when I look at the bottom of the LW control panel I will see false readings that will say something like:

7 downloads 1,5XX kbs

or even higher. I've seen it run as high as 4,000kbs although when I looking into the download section it will show multiple files at speeds all below 100kbs and averaging between 12-42kbs.

I am at my wits end here. I have heard that this is a good program to use for P2P.

Lastly I am using comcast cable.
