I was running 4.8 and have now just downloaded 4.9 assume its

the latest as I was promted on opening limewire.

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.
