New to limewire, Just need a few tips.

[Comp]

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.
