Crazy Slow Downloads.. yea.. another thread.. read..

[Tayzer]

I'm not sure the version i was On before. downloaded and bought apparently in december of 2005.. so whatever version was out then.. also, i have tried using bittorrent, and while it was slightly improved there (talking 20k/s) that's still ridiculously slow considering the number of 'peer's i was connected to. And, i have 5 full bars.. turbocharged connection it says. And awesome enough, despite downloading from 10 or 8 users.. my 2 files are at 0k/s each.. !! grr.

But yea, i called the guy at my ISP and he was quite knowledgable about everything.. since they apparently have other routers to keep their whole network up and running, can one assume they have firewalls in place at those points? or do you think they would turn of any excess firewalls? if they do.. i guess i'm screwed.. but if they don't, and i'm still having this problem, is it safe to say, make limewire use an http port? is that even allowed?

I've got no idea how your ISP would be set up with firewalls etc.
I've never used a proxy but have a look at the thread below, it has a few links. You could also use the forum search to look for proxy or proxies & see what other threads turn up.
Some other forum members might have a few more clues, as well.
