Hi, I was hoping someone might know...

Everytime a download starts it begins at something like 60 kbps from 8 users. About 20-30 seconds later it still says downloading from 8 users, but the transfer speed drops to 0. I have no firewall and but I do have the latest version of norton antivirus, any idea whats wrong or how to fix it (all the options are set to default)?

Did you configure your firewall: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

If you have people uplding from you then you'll get better results.

Hints: After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st. A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.

thanks for the help, downloads are going much smoother and so are uploads
