Started using Limewire a month ago. There have been no changes to my hardware or settings (as far as i know) limewire searches but downloads at 1 kb.

Is TalkTalk the problem I have read that they prevent usage on filesharing, is this true?

The confusing thing about this is that I know people whom have TalkTalk and Limewire and have no problems.

They've caused problems for a lot of LW users. Use the forum search to look for talk talk & you'll find more threads, too.

After some google searching and reading some articles and discussions in this forum, i am definetely sure that it is talk talk that filters my traffic.



Initially (just half an hour ago) i was downloading at 100 kbps.
now you can see the difference.
the following image shows what happened after 1 minute of the above picture.

it is true, i sometimes have high download speed speeds at 102 kbps, but at other times, i have o.7-0.9kbps.
you should know that talk talk provides free broadband. so we have to be happy with that.
