i am using lime wire from abt 2 yrs now n it was very good but now since i have downloaded the new version downloading speed is very low nd i have not scene the ethernet since den.. can sum budy solve this prob of mine .. thanx

To get the BEST speed from your DL's, First make sure that you are set to BROADBAND in the Tools area,and change the Search criteria to only 3 and 4 star rated and only T1 and T3 connections...this will make Limewire fly for the most part(unless people are untruthful about their connection speed(who would do such a thing?)), Also adjust how many Downloads you are concurrently running,I find that 2 to 5 is usually the best for me,2 when all have 10(8 on Basic) hosts and 5 when all are between 1 and 9.

Also,if you have PRO it Adds more Ultrapeers to make things faster.

Another factor limiting download speeds, is how many people actually are sharing too. Lime is set by default to 20 slots with 3 per IP address so a peer can be saturated fast. I changed the default to 4 slots, 1 per IP and now leeches can get much better speed while other can wait their turn.

Sounds like a classic case of impatience too.
