If you use the search (top right) to look for Starhub, you'll find a few threads from other users.

I used lime wire before with speeds of 15kb/s to 115kb/s. I had to do a System restore on my PC, and now at (LimeWire 4.12.6) im downloading at speeds 0kb/s to 1kb/s

Internet explorer browses the internet very fast and i download music around 300kb/s from webpages.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT??

Have you only just done a system restore & found this problem, or has it been a while since you last used LW?

Try deleting the LW preferences folder (when LW's closed), see points 2 & 3 in the thread below. This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to reset things afterwards:wink:

Test Results: Your Test Worked

Im not sharing the connection with any other Computer but i do have azureus and its always off. I dont run both of them at the same time.

This is not my First try: I am very fermilliar to using LW, but just the basic downloading, searching, choosing a good file but not in the technical aspect.

Download a file from here & see what speeds you get

Who is your ISP?

Are downloads with Azureus also slow?

So the problem must be coming from my UPnP not enabled on my router. The only problem is I don't have the password... Thanks anyways.

The link below is to port forward your router for LimeWire you must use a static IP. The default password for your router is password. If you look at the instructions in the link it tells you the default password. And unless you or somebody else has changed it. It should be the default.

I've visited that link already. Someone has the changed password on mine. I'm going to see if I can find it.
Thank you all so much for your help...

YAHOO! I finally got LW to work correctly and obtain decent downloading speeds. I found the password for my router and found out that UPnP was disabled. After enabling it I went back into LW and saw the red wall in front of the globe was gone!
My speeds are not that great (about 15KB/s for a 700Mb cable download), but definitely way much better than before (0-2KB/s)! But this can be fixed by further tuning LW to make it run to the max...

I have to say I couldn't have done this without your wonderful help, so thanks very VERY much for all those who gave up (and are still giving up) some of their time to help people like me. I know you guys aren't paid for this and volunteer to help, so thanks alot!Big thanks to birdy and Grandpa in particular who willingly replied to my posts and gave me some very helpful links.

Thanks guys.

I have done all the things that Lee Ware has said to do, but I still have the same problem, after I attempt to download a song, the download fails and says: 'Disk Problem'.
Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
