Question No downloads, but uploads

Hi!

I can't download a single file with LW nowadays, but i could do it before though. It tells me "need more sources..." and so on, even on four star searches. I've turbo charged connection.

But uploads works fine!

I've read throug a lot of this forum for several days now, but I cant get it to work. I simply don't understand. Other programs like emule or bearshare is also problematic.

1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)

Windows XP SP2

2. What firewalls you have?

Windows firewall

3. How much ram?

512

4. Hard Disk space available?

26GB

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)

Cable modem

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

Motorola Surf board modem 510003
DI-524, Ethernet D Link Wireless router

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)?

Apartment, at home.

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.

LW Pro 4.12.11
Java 1.6.0_01

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?

UPC (swedish company).

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Your test worked!!

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

I have BearShare installed, but don't have it running.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Experienced.
But I honestly do not understand so much about routers, ie. to configure them correctly.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

With UPnP set on no, it's fine. But with portforwarding the brick is there. Turning on or off the Windows firewall don't change that result.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled?

UPnP

Your Router is fine as it doesn't have a Nat Firewall, so going with UPnP is the best way ....
Your details seem to be good as well, I can't see any problems that stand out...
So I suppose it could be a case of Fake Files, have a look at this thread it explains what they are and how to avoid them...

Could you also try downloading a file from here please...
