What is the poblem... can anyone help

[moo moo buckeroo]

overnight i went from a DL speed of 150KB/s to a speed of 1KB/s. I have looked into every cause that i can think of as well as every suggestion on this forum and have made no difference. I have downloaded and tried several other file sharing programs and they all suffer the same proformance problems.
Can someone help me.... keep in mind if its on this forum under a headline that has anything to do with dowload problems I have already tried it.
not the windows update
not FAP
not a problem with UPnP
I have deleated .limewire directory
not a firewall problem
***tell me what else you need to know to help plz

thanks

Download a file from here & see what kind of speed you get

Has your connection status stayed the same? How many green connection bars do you see?
What are your details?

OS(Win XP etc)
LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see)
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type (DSL etc)
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Is this your first try with LW

You're obviously using the UPnP option, have you also tried port forwarding?

*My connection is always at turbo charged.
*LW 4.12.6
*java 1.5
*no firewall execept for the one in my modem which according to my ISP tech support i cant disable or forward too. I dont think this can be the problem though since it has always been that way.
*I have hughesnet (direcway) satelite ... speed test at testmy.net was 1071Kbps down and 177 Kbps up
connecting from home
*I was networked with my laptop but when i started having trouble i disconected the router to eleminated it as the source of the problem
*I have been using limewire for almost a year and have had pro for about 3 months
*I am using UPnP now but have used port forwarding as well
I get a need more sources when i try to dowload a file from the link you provided
*I havent been able to find anything that changed one day very fast DL speeds and the next practicaly nothing.
