Hi.

I've recently switched my ISP. I'm now with Eclipse broadband. Before the change I could download songs at about 100KB/s +, now I'm lucky if i get 10KB/s. I've re-installed limewire twice (latest version) and I've deleted the prefrences folder (because it doesnt say "repair" by LW in the control panel). I know my system is ok because it used to run fine and I haven't changed anything, excpet my ISP.

Another thing, now I'm getting 8mb broadband instead of 2.2mb, so it should be quicker.....

Any and all help would be greatly apreciated.

System details just in case

1. Operating System- XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have ? McAffee and windows firewall
3. How much ram ? 512MB
4. Hard Disk space available ? over 120GB
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ? Broadband 8MB
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers ? Addon Arm 8200

8. What version,LimeWire & Java,Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? Both latest verisons
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? Eclipse
10. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? it worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? New problem, quite experienced
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? Yes

I've found the problem. My new ISP is a *****! Don't use eclipse.
