Last time I posted I had a problem that almost identical post was used and I already did it, no help.

Again, the problem is with both Ares and Limewire.

A couple updates though, I'm running Limewire and it actually connected to 4 hosts (even though it had over 40 listed, I used to connect to 8-12 users per file). The bandwidth would peak at 22 kb/s but then drop. So then I booted up Network Magic and it kept telling me I was disconnected from the network and then reconnected. So it would only disconnect for maybe a second, and then reconnect. This conincided with the bandwidth gain and loss. Each time it disconnected, it dropped to 3kb. Then it would slowly regain strength and then when it got to 18-22 kb/s it would disconnect and go back down. Now mind you only Network Magic said this, not Limewire. However, the disconnects never lasted long enough to the point where the download reached 0 kb/s. When I closed Limewire, the disconnect/reconnect issue disappeared. I just don't know what the hell is causing it.

BTW, I've only had Network Magic installed a couple weeks so I don't think it's that, but it could be. I normally don't have it running though, I just did it for a test.

Also, I'm running Java 1.6.0_01. However, that was the version the beta installed for me. Prior to that i had 1.4.2 or somethin close to that.
