Hi all
I have recently upgraded broadband from 2mbps to 8mbps and following this upgrade I am having a problem connecting to limewire.Not sure if this is a coincidence.In the past year I have never had any problems with limewire and have always been able to connect straight off and within a couple of secs have turbo charged connection (whatever time of day ). Now I can't get past starting connection and only 1 green bar? Help Please ! !

7. Where are you trying to connect from? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.6 Pro Java 1.6.0-01
9. Who is your ISP provider ? Tiscali (for 2 years)

Thanks in advance.


I'm not a complete idiot.......some parts are missing

I upgraded to vista and had to un-install limewire and the re-install it and it fixed my connection, and if i ever get a slow connection rate i re-boot the computer, and it is turbo charged again.
I also regularly un-install it when i have alot of people hitting the max uploads from me, i have alot of files so far and i leave mine on 24/7 so if any one wants a direct connect here is the addy

I know that Tiscali can shape/throttle p2p connections in a lot of areas, maybe by increasing your speed they automatically do this to you ??

There are heaps of posts here from Tiscali customers who either can't connect or can only connect sometimes.
