I'm downloading a large file on the basic version of Limewire. I have a modem connection, unsure the size of it, but pretty fast! The file has gone 87% of 1,870 MB and has just hit a brick wall. I have another one that is 17% of 1,974 MB and hit the brick wall at the same time. Just last week I was downloading a similar file and the speed was 120 KB/s. What could have changed?

I've had a look round. Hope this helps solve problem:

1. OS version? XP
2. What firewalls you have? ZoneAlarm
3. How much ram? 2
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? Broadband
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? No idea, not in charge
7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.18.8 and 1.6-06
9. Who is your ISP? Carphone Warehouse
10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs?Yes with another computer. it is connected to modem directly.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Never happened before, used LW alot
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? no
14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? that last thing is enabled
15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall dont think this would be a problem
16. What country are you living in? UK
17. Has anything in your setup changed recently? Have you updated your version of LW or Java? Have you added any new software or new hardware? Have you updated any software? Have you moved house, changed internet plan or ISP etc etc? Not that I know of
