No download, yes upload
 

Hi all,

System version: MS XP,
Firewall: Zone Alarm last version,
Limewire:4.10.9

I am not able to download, although other users can upload from my pc.

Firewall is setted ok, MS firewall is not enabled.

Port verification: ok
Bug verification: ok
Java update: ok

I checked most of the things Lord of the Rings suggests, but still cannot download.

I thank if anybody has got any idea of what is wrong (I was able to download for several months and it just started last february...)

Thanks again.

Have you tried resetting your popups to default? It might be a simple issue with the license warning

You can also check that your maximum downloads aren't set at zero (tools > options > downloads).

If none of this helps, post back with a few more details, including which fixes you've tried;)

Hi Birdy,

thaks for you reply.
I tried what you suggested: download speed limit:unlimited; I setted the licence pop up correctly.

Anyway, I sure the answer is somewhere there, therefore I am going to post the result of the bug reports:

LimeWire version 4.10.9
Java version 1.5.0_04 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
Windows XP v. 5.1 on x86

What I did?
When I saw I had troubles, I unistalled the Limewire version and re installed again.
In the meantime I cancelled the Limewire preferences (Windows>Documentsandsettings>)as suggested somewhere in the forum.
I tried to check if there is a problem with the ISP (no problems reported and my "speed" is around 1MB-ADSL-verified)

Thank you again for you help.

Cheers,
G

Hi slyg,
Your "recieved incoming this session" is false, means there's a problem somewhere...often a firewall. Only a few people must be able to push through your firewall & upload.

What happened in Feb, before this started...any change in your hardware? Did you change anything at all? Read this thread & just make sure that things are configured ok. Only ever run 1 firewall!

What's your connection like? Make sure that if your router uses UPnP, that it's turned on & ticked in LW (tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Tick use UPnP & apply). Sometimes the problem is due to an internal firewall in your router. Does yours use NAT? There's info in the thread. Do the port test & see what your result is.

Tell us your details
OS (Win XP etc)
LW & Java version ( help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
ISP
Modem/router brand & model
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from ( home, work etc)
Do you share a connection with other comps

Thanks Birdy,

I tried the test of the port and it worked fine.
I can confirm that some users were able to upload from my Limewire while I was trying to sort things out.
I don't understand why I am able to do searches as well, but not able to download.
I use an ADSL connection and my speed currently is 690 kbs...

I have Microsoft XPHome edition, service pack 2.

Java Version: 1.5.0_0.6
LW:4.10.9
Firewall: ZoneAlarm 6.1.737.000
Modem:Sagem F@st 800-840

I connect from home and I don't share the connection.

I'll check the other solutions suggested in the thread once again.

Thanks for your help.
