New to limewire, Just need a few tips.
 

Hello,

I'm new here hi.

O.k i'm on ntl bb 1mb, I don't think i have a router as i have a modem but can i port forward if so to i just go to 'add' then type in the udp number for limwire or do i leave it alone?

96.34Kb/s
945.91kb/s

Do i need to mess around with settings on l/w or should i just leave them. I just had a 120/kbs on a file then it goes right back down to 40/kbs :( Is this just the file not me?

Any tips for making it faster :)

Much Thanks.


P.S
What is limewire pro is it. ''4.9.30'' or ''4.0.5.'' or another as this confuises me.

I haven't figured out the port settings Sorry!

So as not to confuse you or my self:) please remember this
" don't get confused between KB/s & kbps because they're not the same. kbps = kilo bits per second, whereas KB/s = Kilo Bytes per second. 8 bits = 1 Byte."

Download rates will vary considerably, depending on the host at the other end, restrictions by isps and general trafic on the network.
I have the feeling that some isps, when they realise someone is operating p2p will lower the speed fairly drastically.

If you visit http://www.limewire.com/english/content/features.shtml > Features History ... You will find the history of different Limewire versions. Each of these is (or was) available as a pro version. just with the word pro tagged on the end.

Looks like i have it hopfully, Any idea to what i set the d/l u/l percentage bar too, Is it not best top put them all the ay up.

I tend to set them at around 85% I alter them If I'm on a run of fast downloads, or if someone is having a run of fast uploads from me. There is a sticky on how to best to set them, but I find I cannot do it quite like it is suggested. If you set them too high as a rule your compurer will run very slow for other things! hope this has helped ... please ask if you have any more queries.:)

You've been very helful. I think that's it for now.

Thank you.:)
