With Limewire (I don't know about Poisoned) downloading one song in 12 hours might be realistic given your slow speed and how much Limewire puts people in queue and the connections come and go. It's not the most reliable way of obtaining files. If you pony up the bucks for Limewire Pro instead of the Basic version you'll do better. The fact that you can download at all is telling me that it's not a firewall or ports issue.

I am not looking for a pregram to download music, I am looking for a reason that it is NOT downloading. There is no problem with the software when piggybacking, only when I am using my Internet provider. So the problem my setup or something with the ISP? Thanks, bob Can someone tell me why I am unable to download music from the internet? I have tried both limewire & poisoned . They both work the same , ie, I might be able to download one song in 12 hour period. I am connected to the internet with a high speed connection 128kps. Everything works like it is suppose to when I piggyback off of my friends DSL connection (different provider than mine). So was wondering if this involves using different ports? Is it my setup or my providers? _______________________________________________ iBook mailing list iBook at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/ibook Listmom is trying to clean out his closets!
