can any one help me get faster downloads

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. After LW's been open for at least 15 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?
13. Try downlding a file from here & tell us what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
14. Choose a nearby location to do a speed test whilst LW is closed: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ What speed does it give?

1 OS is windows xp pro
2 just standard window one
3 1gig
4 200 gig
5 tiscali broadband 2meg
6 usb adsl wan adapter
7 home
8 i have limewirepro 4 9 37 pro java 1 5 0_03
9 tiscali
10 no just 1 computer running
11 my 1st try
12 true
13 it averages 5kb/s peaked at 10 but seems 2 stay at 5
14 actual speed downstream 1857 kbps upstream 43kpbs
true speed 2005 kbps upstream 46 kpbs
i hope this all the info u need anymore help would be great thanks

One problem I can see immediately is your ISP. Tiscali has, in some countries, started filtering/shaping users of p2p programs. ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire
Here's an example of how a p2p bandwidth shaper can work against Gnutella: Bandwidth Shaper Sample - typical of how some ISP's use it (click on link) ie: giving priority to net surfing & low priorities to p2p sharing.

In step 13 you should have been getting faster speeds than what you got. Your overall speed is 232 KB/s down but you were getting a fraction of this with the test.

can u then tell me which isp does not block p2p sharing
