er... There are some major problems with the above recommendations.

MANY of the configurations suggested have absolutely no bearing whatsoever regarding 'connection problems' and many of them are actually quite negative things to do in terms of use of the Gnutella Network, sound quality on playback, enforced 'partial' file sharing, etc., etc.

Your list could be shortened... A lot !

Please do not think I am being heavy-negative towards you now...
Your efforts and post is for sure appreciated... Your 'method' simply needs a bit more 'science' applied in order to separate those configurations that actually effect connection parameters from those that are only related to 'personal' preferences.

Again... Glad that your enjoying what can be done on Gnutella Network and please continue to share your views and discoveries !!!
