ok, i got my net turned on but my 5meg service wasnt kicking in even after 7 days, so i call up my isp and long story short they send a dude out here, but anyway, on the phone he tried to troubleshoot my comp. he asked if i have limewire. i say yes but its not running. he says "limewire is always running". i didnt think anything about this at all, i always thought it was safe.
so im about to go to sleep and i figure its worth a shot, so i uninstall limewire. next morning i get online and notice its alot faster, go to download a file and download speed tops at 595kbps. so im like oh guess they fixed it, so i install limewire again....changed everything, download speed goes back down to 45kbps. i did this over and over to make sure and it turns out the same everytime. i uninstall limewire, connection is great, reinstall it and boom...it drops back down.i make sure limewire is shut down, even after rebooting my comp it stays the same until i uninstall it.
anyone have any idea what is causing this? i still dont believe limewire has something running in the background but its getting kinda hard not to believe it now.
limewire isnt always running. i have 3meg cable service but im getting T1 speeds, and i run limewire. just make sure its not running as a background process.
