Download speed fast then dropping to zero for no apparent reason!!!

[markwithey]

Hi guys

I'm at the end of my patience so I really hope someone can help me out. I can start LW and connect as normal, but after just a few minutes use the download speed will drop down from what it was running at to zero for no apparent reason.

Often I am unable to use the net using IE when this happens, but not all the time. The only thing that gets it going again is to reset the broadband router manually. I thought it was a router issue, but it only seems to happen with Limewire.

If anyone has any ideas whatsoever please please please let me know - i'll try anything!!

Sincerest thanks in advance for your help,

Mark
