i use lime wire all the time and am really annoyed as i have a 2.2 mbps broadband connection which meant i could do several high speed downloads at once (provided there were enough sources etc), but all of a sudden it will only downloaded at a COLLECTED speed of 20kbps (i.e 1 dl at 20kbps, or 2 at 10kbps each or 4 at 5kbps each etc). if i downloaded something using my internet eplorer from an attachment or so on, its perfectly fine and limewire used to be fine too; sometime reachin speeds of 150kbps.

im really annoyed please help i beg! it is too slow

the jist is my entire bandwith when usin limewire seems to have decreased to 20 kbps in the last couple of days, despite a 2.2mbps broadband connection and i dont know why!

thx

I do wonder if your isp had put a control on your p2p usage. Many isps do this, some after you have exceded a montly allowance. I would suggest you check with them to see if this is the case.

This link gives details of some of the worst offenders. Please let us know more details if this does not help.

hmmm yes im with pipex and i guess theyve deemed me as a "heavy user" and due to the illeagality of p2p i dont know whether to complain or not. this is such bullshit, i had no idea they could do this (implace traffic control). they do stress on their website that p2p is basically whats causin problems and what theyl cap. dammit i actually live on lime wire, im buggered!

thx for the help, if theres any solutions you can think of or any other reasons there might be please dont hesitate.

I can't see any sign of Pipex in this thread .. but they might be candidates for a new addition... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=33712

You can try changing ports etc http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32882

and it also worth talking to someone other than a bored switchboard operator to see exactly hat your pasition is re. p2p
