Connect to Limewire fine but download @ 1k??
 

Hi I'm having problems with my Limewire, even Kazaa Lite Ressurection is doing the same thing. I connect just fine, search results come up fast (I'm on DSL) but when I go to download it hangs around 0k-1k sometimes touching 2k for a brief second. Any ideas what's wrong? It's really annoying! Any help would be great thanks! :)

i have the same problem but no one in this dam forum responds...

Re: Connect to Limewire fine but download @ 1k??
 

And I thought I was the only one having this problem. It is really annoying. Mine goes something like 0k-1k blink a few times and will get back to zero in no time. After going through the same motion for some hour or so, total amount of data build up is around 3-4%.

I did not encounter such problem before.Once the connection is successful, the download will just proceed accordingly. Nowadays it is different.Sometimes on successful connection, the word downloading is displayed without any further progress. The Ok bytes just stays idle. However at times, I do get a speed of 20k-25k like this morning for certain songs only.
In the afternoon, it is the same old problem 0k-1k.

Something is wrong somewhere. I have this question. Being a layman, I wonder whether there is any improvement if I download again the Basic from some other countries other than United States. Wonder whether it would help. The language may be foreign initially as I remember it is possible to change language in the menu . My question is whether it will speed things up.

Can anyone please advise.

First off let me thank the Admins for answering as many queries as you do, it is appreciated as I am sure it becomes quite repetitive.
I am having the same connectivity problems as mentioned above and after searching through the forums here and trying several of the mentioned fixes have not been able to remedy it. I have tried different computers, disabling firewalls, re installation, reset my router and modem, and everything else I could think of that was not mentioned already on the forums. I then called my ISP tech support to see if they recently started blocking / filtering any ports to which they replied no to. Before I mentioned anything about a P2P network the techie advised me that he had personally had about 20 calls over the last few days regarding my same problem and the next thing he said was that Lime Wire seemed to be having some problems. (I had not said anything about Lime Wire).
I, as several others by the looks of it, would greatly appreciate any effort put into checking the network for a connection problem as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

same problem here!! and i left the laptop running through the night, as i had a very good connection of 40kb/s and above just before i slept.

to my horror, 8 hours later, only 10% was downloaded!! and for the whole of today, it never ever hit double digit connection speeds.

pleeease fix the problem soon as i'm desperate for desperate housewives.

limewire rocks!!

First of all, let's thank Steif for putting a lot of effort with many people at the moment. Idon't know if any of this will help but here goes:
1) it would seem that if the host from which you are d/loading is busy, then that slows things down.
2) if the host is a modem connection, then that certainly slows things down regardless of your connection.
3) if the host goes offline and shuts down the PC, then you PC has to find another host to d/load from. That could take ages.
4) if your a modem user, save what you spend on your phone calls and buy a faster service. I never d/load from a modem and found a way to stop modems uploading from me. They slow down everyone else. Sorry, but that's fact.

Ok. After spending hours searching the forums here and on other p2p sites I have another question regarding this topic. I saw another thread on here somewhere (forgive me but I forgot exactly where) that was dealing with connection issues and I think it LOTR that advised to check the bug reports under the options menu to see if 'Received Incoming this session' had a response of 'true' or 'false'. I see that mine says 'false' and that it could be attributed to a firewall issue. I am wondering if this is the problem and if the other posters here have the same result in their bug report.
As stated before in this thread, I have no problems making the initial connection to LW, have an excellent to turbo charged Quality and my searches give fast results but when it comes to downloading I am at 0 to 1 KB/s. I am on a cable modem using Norton Internet Worm protection (which I have checked and ensured Lime wire / Gnutella is allowed, even disabled Norton in an attempt to find the problem) and I have Win XP Sp2 (Firewall disabled). I have had these same seetings for some time now and only recently began having these problems, I haven't made any changes that I recall to cause this negative change in LW's D/l behavior. My point is, is the 'false' reading I get under bug reports causing the problem, and are any of the other posters here getting the same reading (go to tools, options, bug reports-view example), and about half way down the page look for 'Received incoming this session'---------True or false next to it?

same

[for 'Received incoming this session'---------True or false next to it? [/B][/QUOTE]
Mine is true but I'm having exactly the same problem as you are facing.
