You know LOTR

I seem to be experiencing the same problem as Crawler_nt, one moment I can download a large file at a health rate and the next it has slowed down to between 0KB - 1KB, even with 10 hosts and my internet connection is Turbo Charged.

However, I am aware that during peak periods the system will slow down but, as LW has a world wide audience, peak times now seem to be most of the time.

Still, I am not griping about that, I would hope that something can be done about being bumped off rare files. For example, there may be only one host/source for a particular rare file, and you have waited days in the queue to download it, just as you start to download this file along comes (I believe) a Sharaza client, bumps you off your download and puts you back into the queue.

Of all the things that happen while I am using LW Pro, self disconnect, java crashing, internal errors, etc. that is the one thing I hate the most.

LOTR, you are a man of considerable influence in the upper echelons of the LW Org., is there anyway you can convince them to squeeze in an anti-bumping facility.

I know there is nothing anyone can do if the PC or server you are downloading from is switched off but to be bumped of a download is adding insult to injury.


Hoping it can be done.
