Wot....no revolution? Bugger!

Very easy actually. As I stated when you have selected the download browse the host after the download has started.

Selected host said T1. Download came from modem when browsed.

Browsing is a little different. I don't think filters apply to browsing. But you can go to Tools>Options>Searching>Speed & select # or higher. Some people select the incorrect connection type when they set up their LW. Perhaps it's to stop them being filtered out or just a mistake out of ignorance. I use DSL but I set my connection type of modem.

How come Lord? Also concidering how dead slow the downloads are I have no trouble believing it is coming from a modem. 1or2 kilibits!!!

It could be that they have their upld bandwidth shared among a large no. of uplders. It could be 10, 20 or 50+, etc. In which case the amount left over or shared between is small. Else they're a bit miserly with their upld bandwidth offering.

not sure if this is the way to ask about something from an old post but....
 

in the above you stated that you were at the bottom end of adsl...if you have the time, could you further expand on that...have been on LW for about 3 years and adsl the whole time...have the opportunity to upgrade to an enhanced adsl (2.5 vs 1.5) but this is the first time I have seen someone downslight the adsl as a factor with limewire....i am considering it basically because of my Downloading.
