Search the word satellite on the forums. Many have firewalls you have no control over... the isp shapes uploading for p2p for many services. Not to say this is also your case.

BTW AOL has its own security options. Make sure they're turned off. Your own trusted firewall, av & spyware/adware programs can do a better job.

Tell us what happens & what speeds you get.

You can try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) & see if that makes any difference.

OOps I'm slow posting! lol

BTW what type of speed booster is it?
