I must point out that i have never had this prob before, i have only now started to experience, very slow downloads, since changing ISP, they did not supply me with a modem/router, so using the previouse one by AOL

My new ISP have assured me, they are not shaping p2p traffick...

would appraciate any help on this matter

Well there are no guides supplied for your modem at Port Forward.com, so I googled it and couldn't really find anything about it having a Nat Firewall, as it's just a modem not a modem/router...

There is nothing else in your details that indicate this firewall either...
So I am going to suggest trying these fixes as they have worked for others....

How Do I Change Ports?
 

Hello guys, can someone explain to me, how to change ports in limewire, or atleast explain to me about PORTS i am having alot of problems with my connection since changing ISP

i have a constant brick wall on limewire, my dl speeds have dropped drammaticly!

I even installed FROSTWIRE on my pc & that had a brickwall too!

could this problem be caused by my ISP??

Is This Normal In Limewire?
 

ok, i have a brick wall in Limewire that will not go away, but my connection is still going upto turbo charged, i can still download stuff, but at a much slower speed than before!

is the brickwall causing the slow down in speeds, or do i need to look elsewhere?

could this be a problem caused by new my ISP? i have deleted the preference folder within limewire, but still no luck... i have configured my Anti virus, but this hasn't resolved the matter...

I even went to the length of downloading other p2p programmes (i.e) frostwire, but same brick wall in that too!

i have also tried using utorrent, again i have a network connection problem with that too!

Is it likley that my ISP is blocking me somehow? even tho they are assuring me, that i am getting full speeds down my line?

the modem i am using was from my previous ISP (AOL) could there be a compatibility issue there?

please in need of some solid advice, considering getting rid of my new ISP if matter isn't resolved... thanx

Thread merged...please stop posting new threads & just keep it all in the one place. Here.

In LW go tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Change LW's listening port to something in the range of 49152 - 65535 (eg 65000) > apply > ok.
You can try any ports in that range.

Your ISP say that they don't throttle p2p & I can't find anything to suggest that they do. Have you tried using LW outside of peak hours?

You could also try the advice here (the first few posts by murasame), if you haven't already.
A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance...

Posts merged onto existing thread.

thanx birdy, i have tried limewire outside the peaktime, but i have the same speed issue! i downloaded frostwire, just to see if i have the same problem in that & again the connection had a brick wall...

i even tried utorrent & i am having speed issues with that too!

everything worked fine on my pc, until the day i migrated to a new ISP, i am recieving upto 5.5mbp down my phone line, but it seems like anything i use p2p related is more like dial up speeds!

could this problem have anything to do with my modem? i am using the same usb adsl modem provided to me, by my previouse ISP, fast.co.uk did not provide me with a modem.

could there be a compatibilty issue? that brick wall was not in limewire until the day i changed my ISP, so i am guessing it is either my modem, or my ISP...

would it help if i changed port in limewire?

appreciate any advice! thanx

hmm..well I was just looking through some mail and actually took the time to read the advertisement from AT&T....they talk big numbers with their internet service..uh huh...and this brings back to mind the time a salesman came to my door and tried to get me to change over....yeah....they talk big numbers....but...BUT...there is a little game I think they play..I talk in MB/s (bytes)...they talk mbps (bits)...there is a factor of 8 difference!....

so if you used to have a 2MB/s package and now have an 8mbps package you are actually SLOWER!...by a factor of 2!!!!!

sorry peerless, it's actualy the upto 8mb/s package i am on, so i guess it isn't the speed i am getting from them, that is the problem! :confused:

It seems that your BT Voyager 105 has a rep for being troublesome, I've got one question for you:

As this modem has been around for a long time, have you updated it's drivers to the latest available?

This just may solve your problem.
