My Limewire is acting up, trying to download a large .zip file
 

I'm currently running a Windows 98 machine, with 512 MB of RAM. I'm on a 56K.

I do not have LW Pro.

I am trying to download a large .zip file.

Yesterday, I started to download it, I got up to 52% and I had to turn off the computer.

The next day, I turned my computer on and tried to download it.

It alternates between "Waiting in Line, Position 1", "Downloading from 1 host", "Connecting" or "Waiting ___s for sources"

This is really pissing me off.

May I recommend that instead of using the Resume button on LW, you do manual searches. Try to find as many sources/new sources as possible. Resume can be effectiv BUT, if you do it on too many files, ALL your files will queue for much, much, much longer & your connection quality may also suffer. These are side fx of this technique. Resume is also not as effective as manual searching.

Here's some hints on optimising LW: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
