It doesn't matter, if I enable or disable the firewall, the upload (16 KB/s) is still faster than the download (3 KB/s) – numbers from just a minute ago. If I’m really lucky I have a download speed of 15 KB/s for a few seconds before it's back down to under 5 KB/s.

Does anybody have any ideas?

murasame, if I knew how to pronounce that I would name my second born child after you. It is amazing what you have done for us. I had pretty much given up until I stumbled upon your thread and READ ALL THE POSTS. Honestly, that is the only way to understand this fix. The folks looking for quick answers and fixes will not get it. So here is my set-up based on what I've taken from this thread...


Upload speed - 214 Kb equalling 26.75 KB
Download speed - 1903 Kb equalling 237.8 KB

I am on a Cable modem through Charter Communications

Max DLs set at 11
DL bandwidth set at Unlimited
UL bandwidth set at 21 KB
3 UL per person
Max UL slots set at 8
Configured my firewall to accept LW (getting "true" on bug report)

Having done this, I have seen my DLs go from 4 KB to 30-50 KB almost instantly.

Is this where I should be? Thank you so much for all of this. I'm sure it took quite a bit of your time.

first of all, thank you so much for helping so many people with this post. i too, am AMAZED at how patient you have been answering so many questions, many the same question over and over again. you are truly a zen master.

now...if you have any patience left, i humbly seek some some of your sage advice. i have been up all night intensely studying this entire thread, and i have taken all the steps herein, but i have not gotten any improvement. limewire was working wonderfully for several months (50-80kB/s dwnlds) until last month when my comp crashed, i bought this new compaq last week (256ddr ram, AMD3000, comcast cable connection), connection bandwidth test: avg dwnld 1729kb/s= 216kB/s, avg upld 47kb/s= 6kB/s. i have norton firewall turned OFF, I'm assuming the low upld rate is because of comcast (from what i read earlier) i guess.

i have downloaded a file that has hundreds of hosts. i usually get about 6 hosts for the file at about 3,4,or,5kB/s. i have tinkered with the # of simutaneous downlds (from 3-40), i've adjusted the dwnld meter all the way up and down the spectrum. with the uploads, i have never had anyone upload from me, but i have adjusted that every way i can also.

right now i have it set as follows
#of simu dwnlds = 20 dwnld bandwdth = unlimited
max uplds per person= 3 upld slots= 8 upld bandwth=10.94 lowest it will go

i notice in bug report it says received incoming this session: false (i don't know if this affects my downloads or not.....i'm not concerned with uploads at all right now, i only have 10 files....i just want to get downloads right)....

i wanted to copy my bug report and paste but it won't let me but it says connection speed= 350

is there anything that i can do.....certainly there is some way i can get better download speed than 4kB/s...limewire is the only reason i pay for cable intrnt connection

i apologize for the long post but i wanted to give all the factors... i really need help here....i have been struggling with this all week

anyone who can help me get this working right i will send you $20

PLEASE HELP......thank you

Hi Guys,

First of all I would like to thanx muesures for his great post and recommendation on how to configure the LW right.

Actually, I'm in a company LAN with more than 5 P.C connected. Internet speed is Upstream: 512 DownStream: 256. I've configured the same as what mesures stated in the first post, before I was getting MAX 0 - 2 KB/s. After the recommendation by Meesure I got MAX 11 KB/s and time-to-time drooping to 5 KB/s.

Someone says, It might be Torjan Hourses or Virus that the P.C is infected by, but I'm sure it is not. Beucuase I've installed the Latest Verison of Symentac Antivirus plus MS AntiSpyware. IN addtion, the NoteBook new and recently has been opened. ANd I've never downlaoded a file is less than 355 or 765 KB of size. The files which I have downloaded and it took three weeks to finished are Aerobics Movies with more that 600 MB of size.



Any help ?
