I am running the following

• XP Pro
• The latest copy of LW 4.13.8 (and have had the same problem with other versions)
• Java 1.6.0_01
• Netgear DG834GT Router

Now, i keep experiancing the same thing with every download which is the following: -

Search for what you want, start to download it starts of fine 2,3,4% and so on then the % goes down then up and then eventually you get a report say file currupt do you wish to continue?

If you say yes and then playback sure enought the file hops skips and jumps etc ie currupt.

Can sombody please help?????

Try the suggestions in this thread to block hosts that are known to spam the network: No search results-(How to filter bad ip's)

Thanks for your help 6 Pac,

I have tried doing what you suggested in your reply and i am still having the same problem.

This surly has to be down to somthing clashing or conflicting whit LW???? as i am getting the same message about the file being currupt with every attempted download.

There must me some explanation to this problem

Thanks PM70511

It could be an over ambitious utility such as AV or anti-spyware, etc.

It may also be due to a firewall issue. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? http://www.gnutellaforums.com/attach...1&d=1162908502

hi there,

I dont have a brick wall in from of the blue world icon every time but somtimes i do, however it makes no differance to the result as the downloads are still no good with or with out the brick wall!

I am running a phisical fire wall in my netgeat router DG834GT and the xp fire wall is off.

I am running Avast AV software and on my other machine i am running nortorn AV and still have the same trouble.

Any more suggestions ??????????????????

Thanks

Sure ... test your line to see how much packet loss there is. It may be at your end (router misbehaving), else a line issue. Else deliberate ISP intervention, since many don't like p2p use because it uses up so much of their bandwidth.

As you said, it happens regardless of computer or version of LW at your end. So the problem sounds as though it's happenning before it actually reaches your network ... somewhere between your router & ISP by the sounds of it.

Would you please explaine how to do this ??????

I hvae see the link in your other posts on this forum about port testing and have don that an it says its working properly on the standard LW deault port 6***.

by the way in using TalkTalk as my ISP.

Thanks for your helps so far

Find TalkTalk listed here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire


Quote: Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a network fail to reach their destination. Packet loss can be caused by many conditions, some common ones including:

* Signal degradation over the network medium
* Oversaturated network links
* Corrupted packets rejected in-transit by intermediary nodes or the destination node
* Faulty networking hardware

Lost (or 'dropped') packets can result in highly noticeable performance issues

You can contact your ISP and tell them you're suffering from packet loss. While most residential ISPs don't guarantee uptime, speed or ping times, they usually do guarantee against packet loss. Before contacting your ISP, do a traceroute to Linden Lab. In Windows:

* Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt
* Type the following command:
tracert (you will need to ask our ISP what address to add here) > traceroute.txt
* After a few seconds, the prompt will come back up.
* Type the following command:
type traceroute.txt
* The problem point will either have very high numbers or astrices next to it. Since its a text file, you can also ISP this evidence to your ISP.

Best advice is to ask your ISP about doing this .. ask them for an address to apply to the traceroute so they can know where the problem is. If possible borrow a router/modem & see if you have same problem (you will need the drivers for it though.)
