I've had this happen a couple of times, and i'm just curious, is there any way i can make a file download faster than .009 KB/s? it's getting really annoying as it's half done, and keeps saying it's gonna take 8 hours more, but when 8 hours comes by, it hasn't moved an inch.

any solutions?

Are you using Limewire? I don't think I've ever had my download speed expressed with a decimal place...

Perhaps you are using a different version? Anyhow, have you read this?

Configuring Limewire for Optimal Performance

Good Luck

sadly, i don't know my upload/download speed... are there any tools to tell me what it is?

and i'm using Limewire 4.12.6 Pro

Could you supply these details please...

11. yes, programs: Phex and Morpheus (rarely use those, but there's always that one song...) Computers: mine and 2 other computers mostly.
12. first time the problem hasn't gone away, but maybe third time overall
13. no

Did you check your speed with the speed tester and what where they ??
Do you know if your ISP shape or throttle p2p at certain times of the day ??
I know that Roadrunner shape p2p usage, so you will feel it when it changes over or maybe it has already....

yes, and it was 922.7 Kbps /// 113.1 K bytes/sec for test one, and 389.7 Kbps /// 47.8 K bytes/sec for test 2 (on http://speedtest.nls.net/ )

I checked the thread about ISP's and if they interfere with p2p, and so far adelphia hasn't come up, so no. at least, not yet.

EDIT:
okay, now i see a brick wall infront of the world... odd? (roadrunner won't change over for another month or two, btw)

I'm also having problems with Xolox (which i just downloaded, and am planning to dump either phex or morpheus), which says to configure my router (instructions here) but most of the links are dead and it doesn't work anywho.

do i need to configure my router in order to have more accessability of the P2P networks?

okay, now for some reason, Limewire keeps shutting down on me after about a half hour of work. And this is usually when i don't check up on it for a while (have other windows open besides LW)

I haven't recieved an error message on startup, so is this somehow normal?
