My bandwidth is certainly not being taken up by others in my building. Doing a speed test just now shows it at 1.9 Megabits per second. Still, no movement with my downloads.

I trying to download Lady Marmelade but the same thing is happening. Its been going for about two minutes now but still 0 B/sec. Says there are 18 sources.

When I started trying to use Shareaza, I set the 'port' option under settings > connection to 'random' in hopes that this would make a difference. Didn't seem to make any difference at all but now I don't know what number to put it back to. Should it be on random? Anyway, let me know if you know of any other way to get my downloads to work. Thanks.

P.S.- it isn't a proxy or firewall problem where NOTHING can be downloaded because every once in a while I will get a few kbs to download. I actually managed to complete one dowload that was about 2MB.

Hello!

So we can conclude it is not a bandwidth problem!.

So what can it be then?

Lets see!!!

What version of Shareaza are you using?

My advice would be to use the latest version of LimeWire.

You say that you have set Shareaza to random select ports to listen to.

My advice would be to select a steady port. Either port 6346, 6347 or 6355 which are standard ports used on Gnutella.

If you are using a Firewall either a software one or a hardware one(NAT router) you must then select those ports above to be open and allowed for communication both uppstream and downstream.

Lets perform this test:

Mail me at netfox100@hotmail.com

In the mail give me your current IP address and a name of a file that you are sharing.

I will then try to download that file from you and see what kind of speeds I am getting and then report back to you.
