Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE
I have the same problem as well, Limewire worked just a couple of days ago and now it wont connect period. I have Avast! as anti-virus and internet firewall, but I shut of the p2p and network firewall on it's settings so that they arent on guard. My Limewire still fails to connect. I don't know what the problem is. When it used to connect my downloads never went over 5kbs, even though my ISP is 2mbs. Bittorrent works, but it is very slow, rarely going over 10kbs anymore. This all is very disappointing on account I waited such a long time to get broadband just for it to not work like I was told. |

| I am also having the same problem. I have not used limewire in a while. When I started it up today it can't connect. I double checked that my router is port forwarding and my firewall is letting port 6346 open. You can test to make sure the problem is not on your side by going to
»www.grc.com/port_6346.htm
then click on "probe this port" if it comes back as status "open" it should not be the firewall blocking. If it come back closed. This will tell you it is your firewall.
I am not sure what else to check. Does anyone else know of any other P2P apps that work good? |

If it comes back Stealth. This means that your router or computer firewall is blocking the port you tested. |

Metairie, LA | This is a problem for me as well, everything I download are very slow. 3-5kb/sec. I think they are laughing their ass off behind our backs. Pushes us back to dialup age doesn't it? |
