Download Issues
 

Hey Lee,

im using Lime Wire Pro 4.12.3 and i have a T1 connection, windows 2000 home edition service pack 2, 2Gb of free space,Intel Celeron CPU 2.4 GHZ 736RAM. I hope thats enough info to address my problem.

Alright my problem is that when i download a file regardless of what ever from music to Video, it starts downloading from 9-10 hosts usually 10-25 kbps, but for the pas few weeks it has been downloading from 7-10 hosts for a single file at only 1-2 kbps some times even 0 kbps? and it takes like forever to download a 5000kb file which use to take like a split second. NO firewall (im saying this based on the globe icon without a wall on the bottom left), health of connection is TURBO-Charged always and upload has always been zero by Default. Hope You Can Help. Thanks Lee

Can someone help me out?
 

I used lime wire before with speeds of 15kb/s to 115kb/s. I had to do a System restore on my PC, and now at (LimeWire 4.12.6) im downloading at speeds 0kb/s to 1kb/s

Internet explorer browses the internet very fast and i download music around 300kb/s from webpages.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT??

Have you only just done a system restore & found this problem, or has it been a while since you last used LW?

Try deleting the LW preferences folder (when LW's closed), see points 2 & 3 in the thread below. This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to reset things afterwards:wink:

Hey Birdie, did every thing above already and it didnt work.

OS Version: windows xp home edition service pack 2

Firewalls: standard windows firewall and Norton antivirus 2006 but both the settings are set to allow lime wire to connect and there is no Globe with a wall icon on the bottom left.

RAM: 736

Connection Type: Broadband 100.0Mbps

Modem and router: Aztech DSL600E

LW/Java Version: LW 4.12.3 PRO, JAVA 1.5.0_08

Test Results: Your Test Worked

Im not sharing the connection with any other Computer but i do have azureus and its always off. I dont run both of them at the same time.

This is not my First try: I am very fermilliar to using LW, but just the basic downloading, searching, choosing a good file but not in the technical aspect.

Download a file from here & see what speeds you get

Who is your ISP?

Are downloads with Azureus also slow?

You may want to do a speed test 100.0Mbps is allot are you sure it isn't more along the line of 100kbps or 100KB/s. You can do a speed test at the link below. Then check with your ISP and see if they are shaping if you have already deleted the preference file.

That speed of 100.0 Mbs has something to do with the connection speed between your cpu and your modem(LAN speed not internet speed). Mine says the same thing, but my advertised speed is 1792Kbs/448Kbs. The actual speed is a little slower.

Lw not connecting.
 

Hey Birdie,

Yesterday i was downloading slow (0-1kbps) then after i deleted the preference folder(.limewire), i made a new search and a few files were downloading at the speed of 8-11kbps and 2 were downloading at 30-54 kbps. Today when i tried to run lime wire it just cant connect, it starts up goes from poor connection- turbo-Charged then Disconnects straight away, and its still the same till now, anyway i did all the test i was asked to

Magnet mix, i cant download a file from here. Lime wire keeps opening but cant connect.

As for azureus i dont know if its slow or not coz its my first time using it, it ranges from 288 b/s - 15-30kbps sometimes.

My isp is : Tmnet Streamyx

Hey Grandpa,

i did the speed test and this is the results

Description: Filesize Time KBytes Kbits
Download Speed: 1025.73 6.75 155.91 1247.28

and on the RPM meter it reads above 1000RPM by one bar. (At 500 RPM it says DSL cable) but above that there is no spesification.

Hey 6_Pac,

Thank For The Info. btw how do i check my advertised speed?

You could call your isp and ask them. I got mine by typing the ip address of my router into the the address bar of my browser and hit enter.

Try entering 192.168.2.1 into the address bar of your browser and hit enter. It should list the DSL Connect Rate (Down/Up).....I got that from the port forward page for your router here: http://portforward.com/english/route...E/Limewire.htm
