I use to have LW-Pro version 4.10.6 for over a year, and so I decided to downloaded the newest LW-Pro, 4.12.11. The good news here is that everything installed as it should have and LW is running well. The only problem I've noiced is that my download "speed" is very, very, SLOW. My new download speed is between 0 KB/s and 20 KB/s (for all types of files). With the older (expired) version of LW I was able to download at speeds between 65 KB/s to 215 KB/s and up!

I had never before experienced any problems with LW so I uninstalled the older version to make this "new" upgrade.

Can someone please help me figure out how to bring my download speed back up again?

Can you supply these details please...

Hiya, I'm having the same problem and trying to resist the temptation of making a new topic about the same thing (hopefully someone's reading this!)

Yeah I used to be fine, and recently (perhaps since I installed .NET Framework 2?) all downloads are averaging 1 or 2kbps if anything (even popular files)

I'm 90% sure it's going to be something like M$ limiting port connections or whatever similar issue I had to download a patch for or something a year or so ago.. (RAHhhh)

ANSWERS:
-XP home
-i try to keep this machine clean, firewalls are minimal, I use a Netgear router, and Avast! which is lovely and has never caused me firewall problems (i'm at home)
-2gb ram
-infinite HD
-2mb broadband with Eclipse (who are £30p/m and therefore usually very good to me about ports/unlimited etc)
-latest ish limewire pro
-port 6346 open
-unshared conenction
-no 'brick wall' firewall icon in LW

GlassEye it's your ISP they have started throttling p2p...
