I m sorry may I be directed to the right forum then...(what is BearShare? ..confused*)
My Download speed is meant to be on max according to my ISP which does not indicate the exact speed just as fast as my phone line has allow. I cant see the host(s) connection speed coz they are ultrapeers?! (dont know what that is either..) and at the moment I m downloading it from 5 hosts with 1-2KB/s sorta speed.
ISP is Xtra and obviously I ve got their broadband package (have got told they r **** when it comes to faster internet).
I m not quite sure what u mean when u say how my LW is confiqured. I read a couple of threads and it should be on the right settings....and the file that I m downloading is currently sitting at the speed of..wow around 70KB/s...fast as!!...

I m so confused...someone help!!&&#$^*^

You can do a speed test here & find out your download & upload speeds. Don't have any other programs running while you do the test.

Once you know your speeds, use the guide here to configure your LW.
