Dropped % Meanings I see 56%/0% in the Dropped catagory in the Connections Tab of my Limewire 4.2.6. I noticed that my Limewire is FAILING to connect as an Ultrapeer, even though it has connected at Ultrapeer with 30+peers and 30+leafs daily since I first loaded v4.2.6 a long time ago. At this minute im stuck as a leaf with 5 connections.) I never changed the version or anything on my computer or connection recently.
My theory is that my ISP has broken something and is being a peice of crap. Therefore, i would like someone to explain to me if i am reading this right before I complain to them (assuming it doesn't clear up in a day or two).
I believe what I'm seeing is Incomming Drops of 56% with my outgoing data failing 0% of the time. This means that ISP doesn't have enough pipe (bandwidth) to accept all my data, or at least that there are drops resulting in retransmits 56% of the time. This could be because of ISP bandwidth limiting, bottlenecks within the path to the Boarder Gateway upstream, or a hardware issue.
Can anyone shed any further light on my issue? Or give educated opinions on whether i should bother my ISP with this? Thanks.
