Still getting the same slow download currently but seems on
initial testing slightly faster but that could be just be a
sweet line.
Would you suggest an older version?
Also I now have a new graphic on limewire 4.9 indicating a
firewall detection. I turned off my XP firewall reebooted and
ran limewire again and still the same graphic. I wonder is
this just detecting that there is a firewall available or
does this mean I have another, maybe at my ADSL ISP or modem
itself.
I know my ISP does block a lot of sites but wouldn't that
just mean no access not slow access?
My limewire is the basic not pro by the way but I get all
green bars lit.
I wonder if anybody could provide me with an average KB/s
that they experience using a DSL connection, I have 512 ADSL
connection, would be handy for me to benchmark against
typical download speeds in Limewire.
Using this bandwith test site:
http://www.info-techs.com/speedtest50.html
I get this result repeateadly:
"Your line speed:
4080 Kbps
500 K bytes/sec"
The connection is a bit jerky being I am in Thailand and
connections are usually cranky, but a drop of that much just
doesn't seem right.
Also when I downloaded the later version of limewire 4.9 the
download speed ranged from 57 - 96 to download that program.
The media files I try to down load have never exceeded 20,
average now about 4 - 6 KB/s.
I have tried experimenting with the speeds/tools/options in
limewire but no difference.
Any ideas on next steps from here?
TIA

PS. Please read my earlier post for all the connection
solutions I have already tried.
PPS. My spyware nuker detects two registry additions since
downloading limewire, name "Kazaa" and listed as "Bundles
adware programs and reinstalls then after they have been
removed" deleting them does nothing as they reinstall on
loading limewire, im guessing they are necessary and are
resposible for reinstalling the .limewire pref after I delete
it.
One more quicky have google exelerator beta version running.
