Here's some hints for optimising LW:
A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities. Also try not to use the Resume button too often. Manual searches is safer for the health of LW. If you resume too many files they will queue for much much longer & cause havoc with your connection quality & slow LW down.
