| one bar meaning "connectING" to limewire... this is an obvious thing but not so easy to fix if u are using Norton...McAfee....or another strong defender... ur firewall is blocking of limewire's connection, just go into ur firewall prtection and "Allow" limewire to connect to the internet - if ur in doubt of it being the firewall, look on the right side of the connection bar, there will be a firewall over the world....that means ur firewall is stopping limewire! |

| Hello! Along those same lines: for the past two days I also have had only one bar, most of the time...then for a few hours it was fully connected. I do not have a firewall blocking Limewire and didn't make any changes to my computer to cause the change in the connection. I now have one bar, and I am downloading a movie, so far in 24 hours I've gotten 51% downloaded, which is definitely not my typical speed I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, with xp home edition, my antivirus software is the free version of AVG. Any ideas why this is happening? Oh yeah, I have cable as my internet connection. Last edited by sueb61246; November 27th, 2007 at 02:50 PM. Reason: Forgot to say my internet connection is cable. |

| It could be your ISP, sometimes they can shape your connection at peak time... Who is your ISP ??
