hi!

ive been running limewire through many versions with no problems at all but since i switched to 3.5.8, no one can seem to upload from me. there is an immediate "transfer interrupted" message next to any attempt with 0 uploaded. i am on mac osx and dsl, my isp doesnt start with 192 or 10 and it is a private home computer. i dont THINK im behind a firewall, but i clicked the force ip dealie just in case. im i teensy bit computer illiterate, so i dont know what other information to add. i tried perusing the forum to see if this was addressed by anyone else, i dont want to waste anyones time, but i really couldnt find anything that answered my Q. ty for the help in advance

Hi Dana

OSX has the firewall turned on by default, but is easily opened for gnutella.

See Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall->New->Gnutella/Limewire (6346).

If that doesn't improve your uploads, give your ISP a call and ask if they block or throttle uploads to filesharing networks.

If they do (grrr), ask if they'll allow clear communications using a different port number, like 23456.

btw--LW is up to 3.8.6, and you can see what IP LW is using by looking at the LW preferences->Sample Bug Report
