You'll still have to answer some of those question:

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

Merhaba donny_darko

But maybe your router has (that's just one possibility), though they haven't written anything about it in the product description. Does the small globe left down in the LW window show a brickwall??
Another possibility would be that your ISP shapes the bandwidth you're using (which is the case with mine and I'm in Thailand). A straight call to them could clear this (though it took me several calls until they admitted doing so). It just wonders me that you get a turbo charged connection and after a couple minutes it goes down to 'poor connection'.
I guess you've read about deleting the " .limewire " folder when LW is complete closed?!?
Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Since you haven't mentioned this one:
Within LW, go tools > options > bug reports > view example. Scroll down to 'received incoming this session'. Is it true or false? (which would be a sign that a firewall blocks you, though you do believe not to have one)
If this test comes out to be false you can follow this link to see what to do next (I actually looked at those links included there and didn't find your router under those supporting UPnP): http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...outer+firewall
