choosing speed for up/downloading
 
your asked to choose modem or cable/dsl or t1 or t3 when you start using limewire in the uk adsl is the name for dsl and there are many speeds available for adsl eg 512kb is standard but now 2.2mb per second is becomeing normal for £17.99 a month with 1gb download limit im on 2.2mb per second with 20gb per month limit for £26.99 anyway my point is limewire needs to help users choose the speed to use you have no detail there at all and u say we must choose the right speed!!! i presume modem is for dial up users..you poor things!.well help us then. ive just searched via beingahuman.blogspot.com which has a google search bar on it and found t1 speed is 1.544mbps and t3 is 43mbps, seeing as adsl speeds vary from 512kb to 8mb if we select your dsl setting are we choosing the right thing?, how can limewire optimise our speeds of downloading or uploading as adsl sevices from different isps(internet service providers) vary so much? please help and fix this confusion. ive also found trying to stop uploaders difficult moving your slider to zero is imposible mine refuses to shoe zero it stays at 1.75kb so people upload of me at times when i dont want any uploaders , ithink ive solved this by changing number of users to allow to zero now..is this the only way to stop uploaders who dont share? also killing downloads often freezes limewire so its no longer showing anything moving such as what downloads im getting so at this point im forced to shutdown limewire and restart it...if you want people to pay for the pro version you first need to prove your capable of creating software thats free of bugs/doesnt freeze/crash/ is easy to use and is properly explained for new users in a sensible logical order step by step..just looking at the forums is offputting theres too many threads..create a user guide with full details on how to use limewire please just taking my need for help on choosing the speed as an example of the kinds of detail you need to provide at each step.anyway thanks for creating this software it is useful id just like improvements im a perfectionist! if limewire wants to be the king in 21st century it can be

WQell my friend I've read most of your post but the lack of a lot of punctuation or spacing makes it a hard read.

The speed you specify is a guide only. So that others can see yor speed in their search window. CableDSL should do the trick

The user guide is available to all to view or download at www.limewire.com > Support > user guide ... FAQ and a glossary are there too

At the head of each forum there are Stickies and these are helpful posts which have been put there to, hopefully, save newbies from sifting through all the other stuff.

These forums are not a part of Limewire and answers you get do not come from Limewire .. just a bunch of people who give their time and a grain or two of knowledge to those who require it.

If you stick around the forums you will realize that not all subjects can be covered in a manual. Your remarks about Freeloaders, for example...... It is virtually impossible to tell who is a freeloader, and you say there times you do not want to share at all hmmm now that might make others who don't know better to think you are a free loader and ... well you can see where I'm going. Why would you not want to share? just curious.

When Limewire Freezes which tends to happen after it's been running a while... The display freezes and it might take a few minutes to get back to normal, but during this time uploads andd downloads will continue unaffected.

I hope this helped a bit, I know I haven't responded to every point but possibly next time you could limit a post to just one or two points and that way, it will be a bit easier for all of us:)
