Forums are a fascinating modern phenomonum. High technology for the deaf.

No matter what you say someone finds a way to ignore everything except what they want to hear or think they hear.

No matter how often you say you are on Mac OSX you are told to check against Virii and background activities interfering. Say you have tried comparable set-ups on the same network and machine and you are not comparing like with like (for the obtuse I have run LW, P, acqlite, acquisition, Carracho, Hotline etc both together and separately over a protracted period of time). Outline what tactics you use to try and improve performance and get lectured both on your "ignorance" then get your own advice back as "tips". No matter how you say don't care as long as you get results and you are cheating because you use a multi network client!

What is it, did you take a blood oath on LimeWire or something?

I am not "getting off" on VDSL, just that it is an unusual cabling system and I have been told it was used because it has small nodes better linked to the server. ADSL is more like a party line. Not that the details are that important. Unless that is cheating too. btw I am not limited to 256k, I have just chosen that, another example of reading into something that isn't there.

For the perenially thick, I am using all the software on the same system (although I have tried it on others as well). Each possible source of difficulty I have answered. I still am waiting on a clear answer as to how to get LW to even remotely function well.

I am impressed by one software, not because of the color of the icon, but because it works very well.
