Dear Ank: Realize you have already read June-2006 post that is first under Max up/down Success LW (Sticky-Leeware) and have followed at least his 'four star only' advice in /quality. But there are three others under Tools/Options/Filters which you may not have followed; /hosts, /speed, /keywords. I chose to ignore long-winded debate between Leeware & Trapjaw, except TJaws add of ' / ' to keywords. My DOWNloads are running at close to optimum and problem-free...my big beef about lack of help or discussion of UPload 'Bandwidth Throttling' by ISP's continues. If you have already configured Leeware's four suggestions, then I have to leave it to much more experienced members to help you out.
Good Luck, caseybob
