Question about Direct Connections
 
Hey all, I have a question about direct connections. Limewire (4.8.1) says I'm behind a firewall and cannot recieve direct connections, but I gave my ip to my friend fine, and he can browse and get stuff from me, and I from him (Same version no.). This confuses me. Also, we have very similar internet setups, (ie, same router, same service provider, same connection speed, etc.) except he's on a windoze and I'm on a Mac. He gets 4 stars, and he says I have a measly 3. What gives? It's not a huge deal, but I'm just wondering why Limewire doesn't recognize the fact I've got my router set up to allow direct connections. Thanks for the help.

okay, I somehow fixed that "problem" I had about LImewire not recoginizing I had a firewall. But something else has come up. When I start off a download, it starts at about 45KB/s, but then over the next 10-20 seconds drops to 0KB/s. If I stop the download and resume it, I'll start off at 45KB/s, hover for a few seconds, and then drop down to 0KB/s again. What's going on??

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false then something is still partially blocking LW. eg: router/firewall softw.

Downld one of the magnet links from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us if the same thing happens. eg of what speeds you can get can be seen from Stief here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...692#post138692

Looks like I fixed it. I moved the amount of simult. dwnlds from 6 back up to 8 and it works great now.
