Hey birdy.. appretiate the reply

-Yeah I had already reduced the download bandwidth; but, did not decrease the Upstream BW.
-Sharing only about 60 files now.
-The only other P2P I have used are Kazzaa Lite and Ressurection, Morpheous, WinMX, Shareazza, and Bearshare.
All of which do not seem to give as many connection problems as Limewire, except Kazza during its first FastTrack decline, yet they all do experience some level of connection unreliability. I really think it has more to do with the protocol than it has to do with Limewire itself, but I have no real expertise to base such a conclusion except that they all do experience connection problems. Also worth noting, I have not always been behind a router and have experience connection issues with all of these programs under a non routered condition. ??? Who knows.

As of posting this now I have not lost internet connection in over 10 min...
The only change made was to decrease upload BW to 80%.. Perhaps this was it. If so then I would like to understand why or how this works. Do you know?
