Limewire Pro problems (slow downloads)
 

Yes i have limewire pro and until about a month ago it has always worked great. Now it hardly works at all. files want find sources and when they do it downloads at very slow speeds. I have updated to the latest version but still the same problem. I have emailed limewire pro support but recieved no answer. Does anybody know how to fix this or when this program will be working properly again

Try going 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...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...) ;)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...;)

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
