Do you have any downloads in progress when your conection dies? If so, only download 1 or maybe 2 files at a time (pause the rest or cancel downloads with only a small % downloaded). Also try disabling performance options - in LW go Tools > Options > Advanced > Performance. Disable DHT, TLS & Ultrapeer capabilities > ok.

Otherwise, it sounds like the prob could be with your ISP. Many ISPs throttle (restrict) p2p bandwidth. Since the problems started after you moved & no other p2p apps work then that would be my best guess

But I can't find any info about TrueOnline throttling. I've checked their site but translation is hopeless & most of the info just ends up garbled. If you can read the language then check out the terms & conditions on their site: hi-speed Internet by TrueOnline - Highlight
Or you could ring their help desk & ask about their policy with p2p (file sharing) apps.

One easy thing to try is changing ports. In LW go Tools > Options > Advanced > Super Really Advanced > Firewall. Change LW's listening port to 65000 (or you can try any ports in the range of 49152 - 65535) > ok.

Sometimes ISPs only throttle during peak hours... so find out what your ISP's peak hours are & see whether things improve if you connect outside of peak

Otherwise you could check out this thread for some alternatives (not always easy): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html
