6.3kbps max on 2.5mbps connection?

[phil-the-man]

Hi there guys, I'm having a bit of an irritating problem here....

Anyhow, I have a 2.5mbps connection, right? The connection is very fast when I use it to browse the internet, you know, surfin the web with my firefox.....but the thing is - for some reason, limewire is VERY slow!!! I've only gotten 6.3kbps max!!! Usually it goes up to 80kbps and even more!!!!

It's weird - my data allowance has not been capped yet - I still have about 15 gigs of data allowance - so they have not reduced me to 64kbps.

My brother have also complained about Azureus being very slow - much like limewire now. But when he's using uTorrent, he said the speed is normal again - up to 50kbps.

So, is it a problem with some kind p2p techno-mefob I don't understand?

Could anyone please identy my problem, and help me fix it?

Thanks in advance!
