excessively slow downloads

I have used limewire for a little over year now, and I had no problems until about 3 weeks ago. I have been watching the forums and trying various suggestions to try to remedy my problem. I have seen many similar accounts, but none exactly as I'm experiencing. I connect to the network with a "turbo connection"; I am able to search, yet when I attempt to download I get a mere 2-4 kb/s. I have tried all of the suggestions that I have found; port forwarding, delete preference folder, roll back java, delete-reinstall, browse connections to be sure they are legit, etc., etc.,..........none of this has worked. Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

1. Windows X SP2
2. Windows only, but it is always disabled
3. 1 Gig
4. 34 Gigs
5. "broadband" 765
6. modem: waverider eum3005......router: netgear wgt624 v3
7. house
8. 4.13.6 Pro and Java 1.5.0_11
9. Adams Networks Inc.
10. test worked
11. 2 pcs from the netgear router
12. experienced user
13. No
14. I have tried both.........currently upnp
15. Norton Basic 2007

None of these settings were changed prior to the problem, this issue is on both computers.

Try d/loading a file from this site: + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content. Just click the d/load link and it'll send the file to LW. You should get decent d/load speeds. If not that could mean that your isp is shaping your bandwidth.

Try d/ling a couple and post what speeds you get. Sometimes it takes a little before the file starts d/ling, so give it a few minutes to get going.

If you haven't already, you could try portforwarding your router: Port Forwarding for the Netgear WGT624v3

You may have to create a static IP for each computer, then port forward different No's, If L/W is in use on both.
Peace

Mickjapa108,
Thanks for that advice, that was of great help to me.
Cheers.

I tried the magnetmix downloads and still only clocked a whopping 2-3 kb/s. As for assigning static IP's that has already been done I do believe. Thanks for the advice guys, I'll just try to be patient and keep screwing with it.
