Limewire is treating me like SHIT and I dunno why.

waterwings [Edit] [Delete] 19 replies 01:26, 27 March '06

Nothing sexual, mind...

OK. Speed shouldn't be a problem; I have broadband connection etc. But, for some unknown reason, Limewire's acting like a petulant child and restricting me from downloading anything above 1kb a second.

It's 'propa stoopid'. It used to work fine and dandy, until I updated the damn thing. Now it just seems to go soooo slow.

Perhaps a firewall (or the removal of one) is involved in speeding download time, but can anyone help/does anyone know what to do?

Any help is appreciated, guys....

      • Of course I don't use Limewire...

        ...I'm asking on behalf of an..erm....'friend'.

        Yeaaah...liek, woteva.

      • Disabled internet security?

        ...like, deactivated your firewall?

        waterwings @sharp_yet_blunt | 27 Mar '06, 01:57 | X
        • yes but its not the best thing to do

          the best thing is getting rid of limewire as its shit and using bittorrent or something

          sharp_yet_blunt @waterwings | 27 Mar '06, 02:11 | X
          • I tried using bittorrent

            but couldn't figure it out.

            Not down with all this cyber-larkying about, y'see.

            Is it really THAT much better than limewire?

            waterwings @sharp_yet_blunt | 27 Mar '06, 02:36 | X
            • what are you downloading?

              the download speeds are faster, when you download something it usually is what you wanted to download its really easy to use

              sharp_yet_blunt @waterwings | 27 Mar '06, 02:38 | X
              • I'll have another look at it

                It didn't seem that easy to use, but really didn't give it enough time, to be honest.

                You mind if i PMed you at some point if I still can't work bittorrent out?

                waterwings @sharp_yet_blunt | 27 Mar '06, 02:45 | X
                • yeah no problem

                  sharp_yet_blunt @waterwings | 27 Mar '06, 02:50 | X
      • According to a friend of mine...

        ...certain internet providers block linewire and any other downloading programs. Maybe that's it.
