You may be downlding from a dial up user or from someone who has limited their upld speed.

Update your Java to 1.5 (better than 1.42): Java 1.5 (take the JRE)

Some hints: (Manually search now & again to find new sources. Manual searching is the BEST way to find sources/fresh sources for dwnlding.) Uploading helps with getting better search results & thus more sources to downd from.)

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.
