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:

Hey Birdie, did every thing above already and it didnt work.

OS Version: windows xp home edition service pack 2

Firewalls: standard windows firewall and Norton antivirus 2006 but both the settings are set to allow lime wire to connect and there is no Globe with a wall icon on the bottom left.

RAM: 736

Connection Type: Broadband 100.0Mbps

Modem and router: Aztech DSL600E

LW/Java Version: LW 4.12.3 PRO, JAVA 1.5.0_08

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
