Try calling them again. Be sure to keep pushing for answers, Don't let them sweettalk you and make sure to let them know that you know exactly what you have tried. Be as technically savvy as possible when explaining, then you will almost certainly get an answer, or maybe even some advice on how to get around the problem. Keep google handy while you do it just incase they try to confuse you with some internet packet filtering blah blah blah etc. mumble jumble. And write down anything that you might use against them later if you get stuck :wink:

I did that once btw The tech I spoke to had to redirect me to the same tech I had spoken to before

This was torrent and router related BTW not Limewire

Well, I would but my ISP sucks. They have no tech support available on the weekends. But I did write them an E-mail (which they will get monday) explaining what all I have tried and that I have narrowed the problem down to being on their end not mine. Hopefully they will dig a little deeper and figure something out. I also told them that if I cannot get this problem fixed soon I will switch back to my old cable Internet provider, which would suck cause I would have to pay an extra 10-15 dollars for basic cable TV also which I would never even watch. But I guess it would be worth it if I could get limewire back.

If you do then make absolutely sure that they do not block Limewire also

I have the exact same problem as this guy, and i've also tried everything like him and I know my ISP don't block Limewire. So I'm going to suggest a possible Gnutella problem that only affects some people? (In my theory this may only affect Windows XP Home Edition SP2 users, my friend with his Mac on dial-up claims he has extremely abnormally fast downloads currently.)

All I can tell you is that I use Windows XP Home edition with Service Pack 2.

I had some trouble with the first 4.10 versions. Worked perfectly when I updated to v4.10.9 and ever since. I have been using v4.10.9 (both basic and Pro) , v4.12.3 Pro and now v4.12.6 Basic. This is also on two different computers with different hardware and setup, but with the same connection. The high CPU usage problem that I kept getting with the earlier versions were gone by v4.10.9

While I (through tests) believe the search might have some small bug (probably Java related. Hangs a bit sometimes) I have noticed no problems with connecting or downloading.

I BTW still have v4.9.37 on a different computer, and while it doesn't connect that easy anymore, when it finally connects, it is still as good as the new versions. Also same operating system on that one, but different hardware and some software.

I already know they don't because I used to subscribe to them, Also my brother currently subscribes to them and his limewire is working flawlessly. But that would definately suck if I changed back to them and payed extra just to find out they blocked it.
