Slow Downloading!!!!

I've had LimeWire Pro for 3 years it's been great all the time. I youst to get fast downloads like 300kb/s + now im bearly getting anything like 5kb/s max for 2 mins then it stops all teoghter!!

It's not my internet i've been on Speedtest.net and it's fine.
This is really anoying!!

Can someone please tell tell me whats going on.

It still could be your ISP blocking, or limiting, p-p filesharing, while your speed test shows good results.

Is there any way I can sort it out it's not downloading anything now!!!

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...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

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...
