You might consider reducing your downld % to about 90 or perhaps 80%. Reduce your uploads a little further & stay away from using the Resume button simply for continuing downlds as soon as you've started LW. After opening LW, let it settle for some time before doing anything. (By the way I generally wait 20 + mins before doing anything with LW. That's due to LW needing to spend time loading incompletes & shared files, & also trying to connect to each individual incomplete one by one.)

Make sure you have updated your version of Java: Java 1.5 (take the JRE)


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.
