When you go into the connections tab, does it have you listed as an Ultrapeer? Normally you are not connected to more than 5 people at once...if you are an ultrapeer, it will consume more of your bandwidth, and I believe that you will see less uploads. Forgive me if the older version that you use works differently. There should be an option to disable ultrapeer capabilities.

Good Luck

P.S. You have 6 upload slots and 1,000 files per person...the 'files per person' refers to the number of files someone can download from you at one time

Hi mickjapa108,

Thank you. :) In answer to your question, my Java version is 1.4.1_01.

There is no red "brick" indicator in Limewire indicating a firewall issue; I am familiar with the brick icon, but it is not there.

I am not behind two firewalls. I disabled my Mac firewall, and I do not run any other firewall software.

muhctekdano, I have been both an Ultrapeer and a Shielded Leaf. Neither has affected my uploads in the past. Even if I were an Ultrapeer, as you stated, I can disable it, but doing so shows no effect on my downloads/uploads. I can also control bandwidth, but it doesn't seem to impact my downloads/uploads.

Thanks to everyone for your time.
