Question Wierd??

Okay, so I wake up in the morning, turn on my computer and turn on Limewire right away so I can start downloading more movies... All my files will start downloading (8 max) and they are generally going anywhere from 20 to 100Kb/s which is great cuz than everything will be done downloading quickly, then lunchtime comes around, and they stop... and all 8 of the files will just say Connecting... And they will all stay that way all day... except maybe rarely one will start up again, but only at 1 or 2 Kb/s.... What the heck is going on? why does it only work good in the morning and than stop all day???? Can someone please help me... this is so frustrating!

Probably because they were downloading from multiple hosts, but the one with the largest bandwidth to spare either went offline or you lost connection to them leaving you with probably downloadng partial downloads from other users. Else they are dialup users or else, a client like Shareaza (RAZA) which is reknown for having good movies but poor offerings of speed or else, miserly left overs from others in bandwith. Remember people come & go on/offline all the time. This can change how people are connected & who they are connected thru (as stated below.)

A change of Ultrapeers because one went offline may have also contributed.

Another reason might be your ISP. If this problem happens frequently at the same time then it looks like your ISP may shape p2p bandwith at peak hours of the day.
