On all the computers around the world that have Limewire installed on them, there are literally millions of different setups, versions, programs already installed, etc, etc. It is simple unavoidable that someone will not run into trouble on some version. Bare in mind that there are millions of people that use current versions of Limewire and have no problem at all doing so.
Now you say that you know the guy running your ISP and he says his isn't working either at the same time. Shouldn't that be telling you something. It sure is telling me something, I can tell you. I tells me that while before I was 99% sure that it has something to do with your internet connection, I am now 100% sure.
You even tried downgrading and that didn't work either. So what I would suggest is that you have another talk to your ISP guy and ask him to figure out what has changed.
For an example. Is there maybe just a slight possibility that your ISP is a branch of a bigger ISP that has in fact started blocking Limewire.
And Last but not least (to the best of my knowledge). No there is currently no version that has the kind of packed encryption that would be needed to get past an ISP blocking Limewire. Some have had success using Proxy and tunneling (which I must admit, I know absolutely nothing about) to get it to work. |
Your right he is a branch of a bigger network, he called them and they said they aren't blocking p2p , there is a contract when you get the service and it mentions that so they aren't to blame. He owns the service, they wouldn't lie to him, prob. me, but not him. Thats what i was trying to ask earlier, is there a way to tell if the isp has lw blocked ? the link i used from here said the test was good , Camvera networks owns the service i use. I think lw is blaming the user for things and in my case, the isp excuse isn't correct. As far as trying the proxy/tunneling theory, i no nothing about it either. I have been on here all day reading and testing so im kind of tired of trying things that don't work which are 80% of these posts on here.
