I wanna know how to speed up my downloads. Its used to work great w my cable modem, lately all songs take forever, thats if they even begin the download process....Please help, the other day it took 1 hour to dwnld 1 song!!! is there something i can do? My bandwith is set at unlimited, and i've tried deleting .limewire from docs and setting... i've even uninstalled limewire and then reinstalled it... any other suggestions!!!
thanx

See these hints: 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.

Can I just say thanks for all the patient and calm advice the moderators give to grumpy and confused guys like me. LW works really well for me now and its all down to you.

Now my question. I have a cable connection with a measured download speed of 944.4 kilo whatevers(I'm still confused about that. Anyway its good. I want to put as much back into the network as I can by giving as much bandwith as I can(without jeopardising my downloads my pressious...eh..eh). I'm downloading on unlimited at present and uploading at 50% or 25kbs on the scale. Is this OK?. I have had d/load speeds of 300 kbs + when there's plenty of hosts and good connections.

Am I being greedy or/and stupid?....I knew it!...I just can't help it...
