Big Problem Dowloading
 

Hi everyone. I have a problem with my limewire pro. When ever i found something i want to dowload, i double click on it, limewire will start to download it. But the problem is soon the dowload speed will drop from 10 or something else to 0. This make me can't download anything with limewire. Anyone know how to solve this problem.???????

Assuming you haven't tried this before, right click on target then left click to download. Also, look at the 'hash' icon (to the right of 'Quality' and to the left of 'License') if there are any 'numbers' below the icon that usually means that downloading that particular item will be possible. If there are no numbers that usually means that the host is not online.

Hey I got simmalar issue. Download speeds good, searching for downloads good, but every once in a while it will just drop speed (Ie. 20 downloading @ 0kbs) and it will stay that way untill i restart limewire. I immagine its a glitch in XP pro cause i didnt have that issue in win98se and i just upgraded it doesnt happen all the time mainly when i resize one of the views in limewire lmao could be a beta issue i have 4.12.3

You guys are lucky, 10kbs is blazing to me..

My speeds usually stay 1-3kbs:mad:

dayum you got broadband or what?

No, I know what the problem is, its that chain-on-leg internet service they call dial up.:mad: :mad:

gotsta get broadband man use cable is possible if not go DSL

I got Cable internet and ill hit 700 kbps at times it would be quicker but i need to upgrade my motherboard and chipset I'm still running an 850 mhz with a pc133 compatible board only it wont even take DDR ram

But seriously anyone know about download speed flatlining while it still says downloading?

Well I had Cable in 2005 then went to Dialup because of money shortage, Then got DSL, and now I am back to Dial-up..

We have a $119 payment overdue to AOL, and once I get that paid off I am gonna get T1.:cool:

It will happen to me every once in a while, I pause the DL and then resume and its fine from there on out.

Dude ***** AOL they do not provide the lines anytime you get DSL or Cable only Pay your phone or cable service have aol is like paying double for highspeed with a happy pretty face on it unless your dialing into aol they will not be your ISP your line provider will be I work for Time Warners Road runner Customer support (cable internet support) and i love it when people call in saying they're not connected unless they're logged into aol once i tell them they can save money by dropping aol they're all like "really no way" you dont need aol to have internet service unless dialing into them

Well i tryed pausing and resuming but it most of the time doesnt work I have to compleatly restart the application but if theres really no way to fix it i'll just have to wait for the next version of limewire to come out

I guess, dont fret though, new versions come out all of the time, I have been using LW for a couple months and have been through 4 versions already, and I just got Pro because my friend told me it would increase me speads from 5 steady KB/s to 20 Steady KB/s:mad:

well i have a problem downloading from Limewire when I click on the music or video I want to download It takes me to other programs eg napster and one called click not been able to download for a few days now for that reason

mayv,
This problem has been fixed for most people by using the latest LW version, you can get it here
