As soon as I saw your first post I guess that your isp might be the issue. Find TalkTalk here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire. I think it depends what time of day you use it. They shape p2p bandwidth over various hours of the day. So why did it happen suddenly? They don't apply this universally. They apply it to certain groups of users who they detect using up a lot of bandwidth for p2p reasons. So eventually they detected you using it for a period of time & decided to apply the breaks.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I wasn't really clear enough in my post. I am currently on AOL, but that ends tonight, and will be talktalk from tomorrow, will that make a difference to my post?

Sorry for confusion, I'm new to this!

That means that you might run into new problems when you switch your ISP. Let's wait and see.

If you can download music fine, but have problems with movies, I would suspect that you're running into fake files. They are extremely common in the video and program sections of LW. Check movie files with Bitzi. If Bitzi does not have a record of the file, it's probably fake (especially if it has many sources).

Hope this helps
