Frostwire allows me to search but not download Frostwire allows me to connect so I can search other people's music but I cannot download anything. I thought at first the problem was because i wasn't sharing enough but now i have 123 files so that should be fine. My suspicion is that its due to the firewall, however, i turned off Norton and nothing happened. Can someone walk me through the process of how to allow frostwire to work even when the firewall is on. |
See License requirement (click on link) & check the options discussed. I've a suspicion this is your problem. Disable your XP firewall because it will interfere with Norton FW. Then configure Norton: * Configuring Norton Internet Security |
Thanks, but still having problems Thanks for the help. I am able to download now incredibly slowly, at around 2 kb/s which is when it works which is not very often. Anything that i can do to speed this up? |
1 Attachment(s) Find more sources to downld from; ie: search the topic again, browse hosts, etc. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) Make sure you're not firewalled. Do this test after FW's been open at least 15 mins: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If true then that's good. If false, then you have a firewall issue either with your modem/router or a softw firewall on your computer. Disable XP's firewall & instead configure Norton's firewall; * Configuring Norton Internet Security If still false, tell us the brand name & model number of your modem/router. Try downlding a magnet link as an experiment & see what speeds you get: + MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content If you get very small speeds then the issue might be your isp. Check your natural speeds using a speed test whilst LW is not open. Choose nearest location for a speed test & only have your browser open: Speed Test Internet Speed Test DSL Speed Test Broadband Speed Test Bandwidth Speed Test If they quote speeds in kbps (kilo bits/sec), then divide the result by 8 to give you KB/s (Kilo Bytes/sec) which is what FW uses. |
