Well LOTR,
again I apologize about the rant. Just seemed like a LOT of windows users were all having similar problems. But enough on that dead subject.
as for my set up...my system and limewire are tweaked, geeked and I plugged all the leaks. There is not much else to be done on my end that I haven't tried. Any suggestions or thoughts cause after I posted last night the problem just got really bad, now I can download 1 song for about a minute and a half before my connection and down load speed go from screaming fast to non-existent. Thanks
