slow down load speeds
 

i have limewire pro and a fast wifi connection but i am only getting1 or 2 kb/s speeds on my down loads a month ago it was really fast and i had the free version of lime wire whats up with the slow speeds?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. After LW's been open at least 15 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

Download a magnet link file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us what happens. What speeds do you get?

I see a wide range of download speeds, from 0KBS up to 120KBS, so I know that the slowdown is on the other end of those low speeds. If the source has a relatively low speed connection, yet has too large a number of upload slots specified, the transmission speed is going to be slow, no matter how fast the downloader's connection may be. What surprises me is the frequency that someone with a low speed connection goes after the largest files I am sharing! :rolleyes:

It would be nice if there were some kind of limit on how large a file one could download, depending on the speed of their own connection. The limit calculated so that the maximum uninhibitted download time would be an hour, for instance.
