Dear Birdy:
About your questions I got the following answers:
My IPS is Netvision located in Petach Tikva,Israel
According to the measures I took from the sites you informed me were as follows:
The ISP has a download capacity of 1887Kb/s and an upload of 20 Kb/s and the maximum speed I got was 4Kb/s.
I have two players installed,one is Nero Show and the other is Windows Media Player and up to what I know they have all the codecs up to date.Could it be that the instalation of my Limewire could have missed something and that it is not complete?
Thank you very much for your replies.
Best Regards
Marpiw

Hi marpiw,

If those magnetmix files downloaded very slowly, it might point to your ISP managing bandwidth (throttling) for p2p. Have a look on the Netvision site, check out any terms & conditions. English is my only language, so I can't read any of the info
http://www.netvision.net.il/

Also use Google & search for Netvision throttling p2p, or Netvision p2p...see if you find any info to suggest that Netvision are throttling.

Did you ever try using VLC player to preview movies? Give it a try & see if it works Always check movies with Bitzi before download. If other users have rated the file, you'll get an idea of it's content & quality!
How to use Bitzi

Thanks for your help ,I will do an investigation at te Netvision site to find out what happens.
I didnt understand what the VLC player is.Is it a special brand of players?
Can I download it from the web?.
Thanks again
Best Regards
Marpiw

You can get it here: VLC media player. It's free and has the codecs built in, so it'll play most file types.

See it's list of features here: VLC - Features
