I know little if anything about proxies. But I can point you to proxy methods. A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire particularly page 2 which has links to alternative instructions.

AFAIK you need to try different proxies until you find one that both connects & offers some reasonable speed.

use a socks4 or sockss5 proxy....if you search this forum for 'proxy' you will find a fairly recent post that I responded to that details how to set up for a proxy...

you will most likely have to try various proxies until you find one that works

Here's some proxy types that have worked:
(a) Another Insight proxy solution

(b) http proxies, _________ (c) A Successful http Proxy Solution _________ (d) HTTP proxy blocks P2P - This one worked!!!

BTW who is your ISP? I suppose you're convinced they are blocking p2p programs right? Have you tried another gnutella program such as Phex to see if you have the same problems.
