it's doing it again i know the 0 Kb/s is correct because the partially downloaded files aren't being modified.

as i say it started working a little while ago -- things were dl'ing but not now again.

any ideas what this could be?

oh yeah, and while nothing is able to download, things are able to upload from lw (as they are now as i type -- 4 uploads at the moment which are moving -- not 0 KB/s). also while nothing in lw is able to dl other internet apps work ok.

i changed the port number in lw's preferences, and it's now working again -- files are dl'ing. i have no idea if changing the port number helped -- it may not have as it started working again (see above) after it wasn't working and then i didn't change the port number

They say it's ok to talk to your self as long as you don't start answering back .

It sounds like your isp might be shaping your bandwidth.

right. it's doing it again. files are uploading, files are "downloading from x hosts" but not a single byte is added to the partial files.

what exactly does shaping you bandwith mean?

thanks

when i quit lw, restart it, often it says in the dl window files are downloading (by saying "Downloading from 3 hosts 9Kb/s" or whatever) for a minute or two, then goes to being fixed on 0Kb/s and i look at the partical files and they haven't been touched. just now i got about what i thought was say 3 minutes of download (maybe a bit less) but the partially dl'd files (according to their modification date/time -- and yes i've made sure i'm looking at fresh info) haven't been touched

bit more info: at the same time, while lw is uplading, and "downloading" (as in not downloading), bit torrrent is downloading (and uploading) ok

This could be where your problem lays....It's not wise to run two p2p apps at the same time...Turn off Bit torrent and see if you still get the same thing happening...
