You can download but only slowly right? And no magnet links work? Are you using any other p2p sharing program?

p.s. the slow d/l speed didn't start until I downloaded the new version..

Can you tell us who your isp is?

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) But make a note of all your important settings 1st. eg: saving/downld location, speed settings, shared folders, etc. After you delete your LW prefs folder, you'll need to reset all your options. Then see how LW goes.

My ISP is Charter Communications.

I'll try deleting my preferences folder.

I'm trying to delete my preferences, but I cant find them on my search engine...I've already "shown all hidden folders." which file do I look for? (be specific)

That's why I suggested both options of step 2 & 3. If you had used an earlier version of LW then your prefs folder will be called .limewire & found Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Or Windows 98 / ME: Your .limewire folder is in "C:\My Documents"

If LW 4.10 is your 1st version then the prefs folder will be called limewire without the dot in front of it & will be found here C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\limewire

Remembering the Application Data folder is "Hidden"!

BTW there's sample images for both. Limewire at bottom post & .limewire the previous post.

*** BTW if you're using windows XP sp2 then see these links MS & 3rd party patches ***

I did that and the speeds didnt increase. I'm getting up to 10 hosts, but no more than 4 Kbps any suggestions?

I am having the same sort of problem, except for mine, it connects, but then says 'Queued' in the 'Status' column. Any ideas?

PS. I am running Limewire 4.10.9 on Windows XP Home, through a 3com OfficeConnect Wireless Router. I have turned off its built in firewall with no luck.

i still need help!

Did you speak to your ISP & find out whether they're blocking p2p somehow?

Stabbin' in the dark here, maybe you could try changing ports. LOTR's post #6 here has some alternative ports

I'm not sure that this will have any effect. Maybe someone else here could help you more
