Hmm. Seems my nick has mutated.
Anyway.

Sorry for not replying to you people but a man's gotta study for exams. In less that a week I'll be done with those annoyances and come back to help you guys a lot more often.

padraic. It seems that comcast is your problem. I suggest switching although it has been said that there is a way to get around this hindrance without taking such drastic measures.

habilbaby... uh my (nick)name is murasame (thatk God you got it right the 2nd time ).
It seems that you have a firewall blocking your connection. And if itsn't that, then it must be a router (you said you're on a LAN right?). Check with the one responsible (if you are allowed to do so) to see if it's possible to configure them.

john, are you saying that my initial post is too technical? I tried to make it as less technical as possible (I'm not much of a technology geek myself so I prolly couldn't make it more technical even if I tried...), but if you trully think it's difficult to understand then I will try to make an extra effort in making it even simpler. After all, I want it to be understandable by people who have little or no experience with computers (without it being insulting to their intelligence). Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi murasame ,

Yes, I'm in a LAN and Behind a ADSL Modem functing as a Router and I'm the Administrator of the Network. IN the network the Forwarding ports are from 1 ~ 65535 and the LW uses 6346 which is can LW functioning Properly without any problem. IN the Work LAN too.

Any recommendations >

I suppose you must have checked the "It's them damn ISPs again..." lead, huh?

I'm also guessing that you know how to properly port-forward (just in case: http://portforward.com/).

You can try doing the following: go to Limewire, click Tools, Options and then click Advanced. The click the Firewall option and change the port there (here is a list of ports by ursula: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=24523)

According to my ISP (Cablevisión, México City) my download speed is 128K (that is how they advertise it), I just called them and they tell me my upload speed is 64K.

Tipically my DL speed goes from 0-1 KB/s. Today, after tweaking a little from the advice in here I am reaching 4-10 KB/s, and I think I could get a little more.

Any help would be super appreciated!!

If 64kb is all you got for dld, then 10KB is all that you can get (maybe even more. I think your speed is closer to 128 than what they told you)

Actually, my dld speed is supposed to be 128 and my ul speed 64...

Yesterday I was reaching up to 14KBps dld speed, something entirely new to me...

Also I got the dreaded "Received incoming this session: false" line... Anyway to resolve this? (if its even hurting my speed..)

Thanks!

Regards from México!

Your post was very informative. thanks. My speeds are still slow on some things. And others just sit there taking up space.


off topic question: how do you get a pic to show under your name?

Attached Thumbnails

 

well after searching the site, I figured it out (how to get a pic under my name). Now if getting download speeds was as easy..

Wow, I just got speeds of up to 47kb's on one download while the other might get 3. I have found that if I am looking for a certain file and have no luck, I try again another time and sometimes, I get what I want. I'm fairly new to LW, so I don't know all the ins and outs of it yet but I have become a downloading fool. lol

don't ask me how, but I just got a 104kb download... shock!! lol
