kelmor84 is flying high
Default speed/connection drops then raises?

I have never had a problem untill today with Limewire Basic, but for some reason the speed is droping and raising every few seconds, one minute it will be at 35kb, then it will drop to 10kb, then to 0kb, and it will stay there for a min, the longest steady speed I have had was 5kb and it held there for 5min, it keeps hitting 0 so often that it nothing is getting downloaded very fast, whats the deal??
I have 60+ hosts so I don't understand why its doing this

Are you using a wireless connection? If yes, that's probably why. Wireless modems/routers are not reliable with heavy bandwidth. So much so that as you collect more & more incomplete files, you may find it floods your connection & you lose connection altogether, even possibly need to reboot your router.

One answer would be to lose some incomplete files. Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue! (click on blue link)
