Thanks for the info.

One question, is there an optimal performance with regard to download speed. Some sort of benchmark, so I can tell if I am getting the best from LW and my cable connection? The reason I ask is if I keep changing settings they will get worse or better but how can I tell when I hit the jackpot? Also I run a small program from windows sidebar called network meter V2.1 which has a tiny display that sits on my desktop telling me my DL and UL speeds and it never goes above 250KB. When I start LW my download speed always starts at this speed then over a few hours will gradually reduce to less than half that.

Any input will be gratefully recieved.
