6.Modem what brand name & model numbers ? westel wire speed

7.Router brand name & model numbers ? none

8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ? home

9. What version,LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.? 4.12.11 basic 1.50_10

10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ? bell

11. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ? test worked

12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. nope only pc

13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.? It was doing great for the last year, started a while ago and is worsening.

14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ? No

15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ? not sure ?

16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.? off

17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ?
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates) Yes it is listed and installed

18. Are you using Manual Port faward in LimeWire OR UPnP ?
You can check HERE, IN LimeWire Go, Tools/options/advanced/firewall Config says Use UPnP UPnP


I hope I will receive some help on this and thank all people who will answer for their time.

Thanks.

Also, I forgot to mention, uploads are usually fine: now 2 / 41 KBs while my uploads are 52 and vary from 0 to 150 and then back to 0 ...

Thanks again.
