Thie is the most agervating thing in the world. Just recently my limewire started to get really slow. to the point that im downloading at 1 or 2kb's ITs like im locked. I have full strength and yet i download like im on dial up. I have posted threads and what not and it seems to me like everyone is having the same problem. I have tried to change the firewall settings from uNpN and i have changed the proxy settings to proxyV5 and there is no push proxy either. I have literly tried everything. So please if you have any Info on what can be done let me know. Also as far as our rights go is it illegal for them to packet-logg out ISP and lock us up like this. I do know that comcast and yahoo dsl are not doing and my proof is that i went to a buddies house hooked up to there internet and i was able to use limewire efficently and fast. How about that. Thank you for taking the time to read. I hope there are answers
