I get the same problem as he does.

I get full bars, and full conection, and there is no fire wall. But when I go to download things, all i ever get is 1 host and the downloads never get any download speed, the download speed is always at 0 kb/s

I've tried everything that you listen above. It use to work fine, but when I got the newer version it stoped working.

You sound like you have hooked up to some bodgy Ultrapeers, try this...
Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...

I did that and still have the problem, I dont know if this will help but under the conections tab I have....

5 hosts
Bandwidth - 0.000/0.0000 kb/s for all of them
Status - Outgoing for all of them
Protocol - Ultrapeer for all of them


The bandwidth some times goes up for a couple of them to about 0.003/0.0009 kb/s


I removed them like you said and let new ones come and they did the same thing

Write down those IP numbers and add them to your Host filter, so you can get rid of them once and for all...
to find this go to Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

For instance some time back this batch of IP numbers where bad...
204.11.219.225
204.11.219.226
204.11.219.227
204.11.219.229
204.11.219.231

Did that, and then I went to try to download a song to test to see if it worked,

It got 5 hosts and was only downloading at 1 kb/s
its an improvement, but only by 1 kb/s:xirokrotima:


....:mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::shoot:

p.s I didn't have this problem with a previous version of limewire i had, i think it was 4.8
