| When you pay for Pro (US$18.88 for 6 months of updates & email support) you download the installer that suits your OS. The official site is www.limewire.com There's no bonus software & no members' site. Where did you download from & how much did you pay? It sounds like you've been scammed Warning: Download p2p only from official sites

| Hey birdy, thanks for answering! I went to http://TheTvMembersArea.com/loginv2.asp this is what it said on my billing info e-mail: Billing information Membership type:1 Year Full & Unlimited Access for a total of 17.88 $ USD Pro Version for a total of 12.95 $ USD NetSpyProtector Option - Protect yourself from malware for a total of 12.88 $ USD Grand total: 43.71 $ USD The charge will appear on your credit card as DOWNLOADINGHOME.COM Scam you think? so what do I do? It's taken me over 24 hours to download 5 x 350MB shows - rediculous!!!! would getting the PRO version help? Hey, and how do I remove the brick wall, that would speed things up, no? |

| See the tips in the link Birdy gave you. Also see get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members). The normal recommendation is to try cancelling through the site 1st if it's within 7 days of your buying it. Next step is cancelling thru your credit card by speaking directly with the fraud & scams dept of your credit card co. I'm not sure if that exact site is mentioned, but you may find their main page listed here Known Scam Sites (click on link) BTW start off with LW Basic (FREE), then if you like it get the Pro version which is US $18.88. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml |

| Ok, thanks will tra to cancel via the site and will stick to LW BASIC for now. What can I do to improve the speed though - this is driving me nuts! The server indicates upstram 124 Kbps downstream 512, but the LW screen is showing 11 Kbs tops, most of the time it's actually between 6 & 8!!! so it's taking forever!!! Plus, I have a brick wall - what can I do about it? Sorry, I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm lost!!!! I REALLY appreciate the help! |

| 512 kbps = kpbs/8 - overhead = real speed in Kilo Bytes per second The downld speed is usually dependent upon your sources. So if you can find more sources for that particular file, with any luck you'll get faster speeds. (Unless your ISP has anti-p2p techniques such as bandwidth shaping when they detect p2p programs being used.) Test your LW speed out with a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml |

| Ok, you were right - it is a scam- The company figures in the list you sent via the link http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...879#post119879 AND I called my credit card company - the payment is processed and in Europe, you can only contest/oppose in writting - no phone, no mail- and only once you have recived the bill at the end of the month. So there goes... I'm trying to test LW using the magneticmix link The Scene Episode 001 (whatever that is ) and it's loading from 8 hosts at at varying speed of 8 KB/s to 15 KB/s... how's that? |

| Hey, Lord of the Rings, what about : "Unless your ISP has anti-p2p techniques such as bandwidth shaping when they detect p2p programs being used" and what about the firewall? basically, anything to speed things up would be great! |

| That's not too bad but for a 512 kbps connection you should be able to get up around 50 KB/s. May I ask who is your ISP (Internet service provider)? Also, do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Check your LW settings. Go to LW's Prefs -> Speed & tell us what setting you have (modem, dsl, etc.) & is Disable Ultrapeer ticked or not? Also go to Downlds & tell us what speed you have it set at? |

| Ok, no joke, I've just moved to Izmir, Turkey with my husband - so I'm not working at the moment - and neither of us speaks turkish! the provider is - apparently the only local one- ttnet (Turkish Telecom)- is that possible? For the rest, yes there is a brick wall in front of the blue world icon. LW settings as follows: Speed is : DSL/Cable Disable Ultapeeper is ticked. Max downloads allowed are 8. 100% bandwidth devoted to downloads (unlimited). I'm all ears if you can help!!! ;-) |

| We need to get rid of that brick wall. Can you give us a total description of your set up: 1. Which OSX version do you have? 2. Is your OSX firewall turned on? 3. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? 4. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? 5. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 6. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. 7. BTW it wouldn't surprise me if your speeds are affected by your isp. Do a speed test whilst LW is not running; choose the nearest one to your location from here: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/#T & do a 2nd one from a different location & note the speeds: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/ |

| ok, here goes: 1) Mac OSX 10.3.9 2) OSX Firewall : dunno how can I check? under system profile there is a FireWire Bus with Speed 400MB/sec ... is that what we are looking for? 3) Modem & router: under System profile under Modems: Driver: MotorolaSM56K.kext (v1.3.1) Hardware Version: Version 1.0 Interface Type: I2S Country: 46 (Greece) Modem Model: Jump Modulation: V.92 Plugged into the phone line & airport - Brand Asus ADSl Router. there are a lot of numbers on there and I don't know which is the serial number (they are all on stickers) here they are: 0015F298A98B AAM6010EV/M (this one appears twice, on 2 stickers) A02EMAS1 5CB0AC036247 BTW not clear on whether the 0s (zeros) are in fact Os (letter O) 4) connecting from home 5) LW: 4.10.9 Java 1.4.2_09 6) none - that I know of! ;-) |

| It looks to me like you only have a simple dial up service. That would be 56 kbps not 512 kbps. So the speeds you're getting for dial up are normal. But then again you said you were getting 15 KB/s which is faster than normal dial up speed. I wonder if you have broadband but are using a non-broadband modem? Only adsl, dsl, (broadband), or cable or "some" satellite services will give you a faster service & overall speeds. BTW to find the OSX firewall, open the system preferences. ie: Click on the apple icon on toolbar in far left, then choose system prefs & then open sharing & then click on the firewalls tab. More about it here Firewall configuration instructions (click on link) or see here Mac OSX 10.4/5 Tiger/Leopard Firewall instructions |

| Ok, the OS X firewall is off! and no, not a dial up service, we definitely have ADSL! Attahed - I hope- are grabs of what I am seeing in terms of LW screen and net provider - hope this helps! how can we remove the brick wall? |
