| @ speedfreak, You should do a couple speed tests to get what your auctual speeds are. I set my d/load bandwidth to max and set my upload to between 5-10 less than the max. To get kilobytes(KB's), divide kilobits(kb's) by 8. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ |
| |||
| i did the speed test and it said my download speed was 3763 kb/s and my uploads was 708 kb/s. im just confused as to what to set my upload/download speeds at. should i put it on the maximum as the maximum is only about 50 kb/s. also is that download consider fast. |

| Speeds on LW are shown in kilobytes which are larger than kilobits. So a d/load speed of 3763kbs = 470KBs and u/load of 708kbs = 88KBs. I have my d/load speed set at max. For the upload speed you should cut it back some. I have mine set 10KBs slower than the max. You need to save some bandwidth for overhead. You'll need to eperiment a little with the settings if you plan to do other things while your using LW or it could slow your computer down too much. Your speeds are quite fast probably better than most |

| Very helpfull thread folks, thanks to all the contributors. One question. If I was to do a search for say just the year and get some results and then begin down loading one, will it find less hosts/DL slower, than if I did a direct search. Just wondering because someone told me this was so. One more question. What is T1 and T3, and what happened to T2, was he not invited to play any of these reindeer games? |

| I use NetZero DSL. I did a broadband speed test on the net and found I get 79 kbps (9.88 KBps) download speed, and 33 kbps (4.13 KBps) upload speed. This from DSL. I've also got ActiveSpeed to boost my speed (although I cant see the results when i'm downloading) and I see the brick wall over the planet on LimeWire to show a firewall (not sure if it's Window's or Norton Internet Security). I've checked "exception" for the Window's firewall and checked "allow" for the Norton. The irony is, when I first purchased NetZero DSL my download speed (on LimeWire) got up over 25 KBps but since then it's gone down and I can't figure out why. Anything in the MB range will take me anywhere from half-a-day to a day-and-a-half to download. I copied the advise from the initial post on this thread and attempted to apply that advise but my download speed hasn't changed. Others are having success and I'd like to be among them. Any suggestions? |

All of this would be telling if I hadn't, initially, gotten faster LimeWire download time with the same server. This stuff can get complicated. |

| I don't think I would except that...Because when you did a linespeed test it's not testing your limewire download speed, it's testing your overall speed and your ISP is responsible for that... I would ring them back and strongly Stand up to them... |

Looking into going with another ISP but don't want to fall for some hype promotion and wind up with the same slow downloads. |

| Good on you at least you got something... If you do decide to go with another ISP make sure you do some research, there are so many that shape p2p so bad to the point you can't even get a connection... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-limewire.html |

| Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network. Nothing ever happens after that. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. |

| i have used limewire for years with really good success... usually i bought the pro package. but it was also about four years ago. im finding now that is so much less availability of anything i look for... my hunch is the torrent is taking over. actual question: im having no trouble downloading all day... but no uploads at all. i even downloaded to share a lot of popular stuff just so people will upload. is it my settings or the router? thanks for your tkaing te time t read |
