But I just got a problem,
I have an ADSL Connection, using Linksys (WAG54GS)
The speed is 512Kb/sec,
The problem is:
I have this fast connection, yet when I download using lime wire,
it only downloads at 1Kb/sec & most of the time at less speed!!
I just deleted my properties, so that's not it,
& the download is set to unlimited.

Please Help

Your best option is to switch to another ISP, preferably one that doesn't
censor their customers access or uses AT&T (which routinely eavesdrops
on everybody illegally) for it's backbone networking. Your ISP does both.

In your neighborhood I wouldn't trust any internet provider without checking
their reputation and history at Broadbandreports.com carefully. Many of them
use AT&T without disclosing that to their customers.

Hi.
I have problem wit connection in last three days. Before my LW worked just fine, without any problems. Can you tell me what is wrong. I've tried nearly all tips from FAQ's, help, and this forum. Nothing helped.
1. OS version? XP SP2
2. What firewalls you have? Windows Firewall
3. How much ram? 512MB
4. Hard Disk space available? 3GB or more
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) Cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? I don't know that
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? Home
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version. 4.12.3 & 1.5.0_03
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)? Duga - http://duga*********/
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. No. Well, I'm connected to my ISP over LAN cable, so I don't know details.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. For about a month since I've installed LW everything worked well. Without a minor problem. But last three days problems occured.
12. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? Yes, but I saw it earlier too, when it worked fine.
13. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? I've got message Your test worked
