 Are you using limewire to download torrents ?? Is it a torrent file that is giving you the problem ?? If yes....Don't use limewire for torrents, it's hopeless, try using utorrent... The file maybe a fake....Have you checked the comments on it, either through Bitzi or the site that you selected the url ???

I'm using Limewire version 4.16.6 and you'd have to forgive me but I'm really not familiar with the word "torrent"(I don't really know what that means). Why does the download rate fluctuate like this?( moving up and dropping to zero). Of all the files I've downloaded, I've never noticed this kind of odd behaviour before and I'm pretty sure it's not a fake file considering these are the kind of files I've been downloading for quite some time and I've grown familliar to what is and what isn't. Heres an example of one of my most recent completed download(S**r T**k V*Y - 4x01 & 4x02 - End Game.avi), not a fake. The one I'm downloading now is labeled roughly the same and it's patricaly the same size. Can you tell me the best settings I can use for both Peer Gaurdian and Limewire to best optimize download?(how many lines should I allow, upload settings etc.) Because my current dowload is pain-stakingly fluctuating in and around the 5 kb/s margin(very, very slow ), and if I get lucky(which I get allot by the way)the download stops and displays "waiting for busy host". Then I'd have to select "resume download" again which resumes the download almost right away  . Last edited by Remoc; August 17th, 2008 at 01:37 AM. |

| Maybe you just have really bad hosts on this one...Or it's some sort of fake...You should always check your files with Bitzi before downloading... How to use Bitzi Web Lookup .. & How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect/Browse/Chat To optimise your limewire settings have a look through this thread... Maximizing upload/download Success LimeWire If you want to give torrents a try have a read through this What is a torrent? and then install utorrent (it's about the easiest to understand when you are just starting out).... µTorrent - The Lightweight and Efficient BitTorrent Client Also have a look through the guides at Peer Guardian for the best configuration setup...
