Downloads taking too long
 

:bangh:
It used to take 2 to 3 min. for me to download a song and all of a sudden im lucky if I can a song in 3 hours. What can I do to make my limewire working again? I'm thinking about uninstalling limewire and then reinstalling it will that help at all?

Could you supply some info about your comp setup....
OS
LW & Java version
Firewall you're using
Modem/router brand & model
ISP
Connection type

im not really sure on much i know i have a firewall i tried removing that and it didn't help i have dsl modem and that's about all i know

Ok with your firewall...Is there one in front of the globe in LW...

yeah there is

Ok now I need some info...
What firewall are you using...
And with your modem/Router what is the Brand and Model number...(look under the modem the info should be there)...

now im not pulling up anything when i search

windows firewall i guess im not sure paradyne mvl modem model number 6310-a1-200

Have you configured windows to allow Limewire ??
What security do you use to protect your computer ??

i dont' know how to configer windows all i use is the avg free adition for viruses

Go to your contol panel and select security center > select windows firewall > select the exeptions tab...
You should get this screen
Attachment 2796

limewire is a exception

I checked your modem paradyne mvl modem model number 6310-a1-200
and it's not listed on the Port Forward site...I was reading the forum there and in a response to someones question they said that if a modem isn't listed on their site it wouldn't have a firewall problem...

Do this Port test
