  *heavy sigh*i've been reading. yep. and learning too. a big thank-you to all of you.... questioners, answerers, and resident gurus.  re ya'all's connection speeds: a 70X mghz 25X RAM 2 20gig hd's 56k v92 modem (am rural, upgrade is not feasible, nor practical....no dsl, etc, available) i'm locked at a pathetic 26.4K dialup. that's on a good day. yes, it's the local rural telephone company as a provider. a monopoly.... so what's a gal to do?! ya'all were talkin OOB's in another thread, and i thought OBE's would possibly be faster.....for me. so, i fussed with this darlin progy like this thread suggested. and i noticed two things: folks are droppin in and lookin around.... at my .rm and .wav.... but nothing's being uploaded. LOL.... sorry, but at my speeds i've lil else to offer. today is the first time i've actually d/l'd mp3s. and i tried the adjusting of my upload and download..... but, darlin folks............. downloads for me are a speedy 1/2/and wow, the occasional 3kbs. my question is..... how in the world of gopher mounds (my only hilly view in rural ND) can i balance my ULs and DLs? i d/l'd LW this afternoon. yep. just today! and, my goodness, i've fallen in love with a program. p.s. is it possible to adopt a geek? sorry..... i digress.......

| A 56 kbps modem is the equivalent of 8KB/s however there will be some loss due to overhead. So at very best you'd get a total of 7 KB/s but on average about 5 KB/s. That is the total upload & downld combined (unlike cable/broadband, etc. that have separate upld & downld speeds.) So that means you need to balance your upld & downld bandwidth. eg: say 3-3.5 down & 1.75-2 up. Unfortunately on dial up it's not possible to get better than that. I used LW on dial up for over 3 years (until 6 months ago.) We dial up users often have the hardest (rare ones) to get files ... I mean that in more ways than one lol. For fastest downlds try not to downld too many at once. Keep it to one or 2 or perhaps 3 max. But at 3 you might be testing others patience. lol Make sure you have your firewalls set up correctly for LW to pass thru both ways. See: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml After LW's been on for at least 30 mins or much longer, Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image If it's True then that's good & healthy. If it's False then you have a firewall that's not properly configured for others to upld from you. Quote:

| wal, dear Lord...... i did the tweaking and the saving on the DL and the UL. did the 1.75 and the 3. ya gotta know though.... that's being optimistic. rechecked the firewall: all is well. someone has actually uploaded a file from me! whoop whoop! was begining to feel a mite parasitic thar....fer jes a lil bit though. ahhh.... the 26.4k seemed so alien as to be surreal, eh? that's right up there with my initial reaction to this provider. *wipes tears* 'tis true. it is half of the 56k. and tests (those good ol test thingies from MSN) timed it at a 18.?k. my foray into rural ND has caused me to do some heavier drugs. doc's a city slicker, so he's clueless, but he upped the dose on the niacin. keeps the b/p down, ya know. thank you for your speedy response and carin to help. you younguns are mity polite.

| I am sorry... When I first started reading this thread.. I though. OMG the nerve of that person telling someone their too stupid! (now you can say it return.. The nerve of soem people to critique others..) I am putting part of it down to the flu though. I have to say that this has been the most helpful unhelpful one yet. I have folloed the instructions (for once in simple enough terms even I couldn't miss it..) and while I am not getting any better results, I am to the point I am thinking it might be comcast not me.. Either way you have been incrediably patient in answering the same sort of question differently yet the same each time. I would almost swear you'd been a Teacher once, except I haven't had that many with that much patience..  I was going to ask what my expected download speed should be, but then realized that in my stupor right now I couldn't answer the basic questions, so I thought instead I would just change that back handed compliment into a front hand clap of "Thanks" for constantly trying to help us out. |

| Now Me Please I am on comcast, they said 3mb download, I did the download test on pc pitstop it says 1917kbs Ok. I tried to figure out what you were calculating (and failed miserably) can you be so kind as to tell me what this greek means? They also claim they don't filter P2P so why are my downloads still slow or am I just percieving them to be? what do you want me to share at this point to know what my best settings should be? I am a wireless notebook on xp with very little clue about what I am doing or should be obv. as I feel like I might have screwed up something vice fix it.. I have windows firewall up, but I believe I have the port opened and set up like suggested.. I am sure I will get a "your stupi" but am I missing something or just not seeing the forest for the trees.. |

The speed tests must be done numerous times and at different times of the day in order to get a more accurate estimation of what your download and upload bandwidth are, so go there again and do it all over. As I say in the initial post, the upload speed is important too so find that out too from the tests. Also, I'm greek so the way I understand: "can you be so kind as to tell me what this greek means?" is : "can you be so kind as to tell me what this incredibly obvious and easy to understand thing means?" kidding...

| Answer Please I still haven't got a reply, I opened my ports so I am cruising at 50-70-100 but I still have those occasional 10KB/s. I'm hoping I can rise all of my speeds up to 100. What should I do to get my speeds up? I have a McAfee firewall. AMD Athalon XP 2600+ ~2.2 512DDR Nvidia Geforce4 Fx 128DDR 120GB HD Cox 5.0MBPS |

| I notice you use Cox. They are known to filter p2p for 'selected' users. Probably those that share or downld a lot. See: ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire BUT this might not affect you. It only seems to affect some people. It's been documented at several p2p forums ... not only affects LW & not everybody. Thus your slow speeds might be due to filtering. |
