Sorry if this may be redundant, but I've been using the search function and wading through the forums for like an hour and I can't seem to find an answer to what I consider a simple question...

Why do all my downloads max out at 10 hosts? I have configured everything in LW 4.12Pro as best as I've seen anywhere on these forums, but I haven't seen any way to increase the number of hosts I can download from, regardless of how many d/ls I have in progress they all max out at 10 hosts each. I'm sure this has been covered before somewhere in this forum, but its so large and time consuming to search through threads that have 35 pages of posts I'm hoping for a benevolent veteran of the forum to save me hours of searching, any help would be TIA.

Well, in short....
LW Basic = 8 hosts

LW Pro = 10 hosts

LW Pro with a T3 internet connection = 14 hosts (if I'm not wrong)

That's the maximum it goes.

And this is detected by LW automatically, i.e. there is no function to adjust this manually.....

(Others might be able to fill in the gaps I left....... )

Cheers

Thank you for the quick response foolofthehill, you've confirmed what I kinda thought with some clarification, apparently my cable connection can't fool LW into thinking its a T3. Anyone that would like to comment further would be greatly appreciated tho...

I just played with my 'speed' under 'Tools/options/speed' and it allowed me more than 10 hosts if I chose 'T3' or oddly enough 'dial up' (instead of 'cable/DSL') but seemed to throttle the bandwidth, download speed incresased for all d/ls briefly, then went down....hmmm.... Anybody have any ideas on this? Again, I'm sure this has been discussed before, and I apoligize, this forum is just so overwhelming in it's scale and # of posts to search

Ok...I changed connection speeds around and got 14 hosts for all my d/ls by manually changing my clamied connection speed to T3, but by overall download speed decreased across all downloads in progress...but when I changed back to 'cable/dsl' my speed went back up to as much or greater than before and I retained the 14 hosts per d/l...
