increase KB/s?

Why is it that sometimes i can have up to 40KB/s and now it hardly goes higher than 2 ....why is that and how can i fix it....any suggestions?

Does this help a bit, there is BTW no need to read more than the first few posts in this thread.

how do i find out what speed i had - i went to a site that tested but they didnt have a way to test for people living in idaho - and well thats where i'm at....so...

Just choose the one closest to you.

Also remember to not have anything but your internet browser running when you test. And maybe even test at a few different locations and find an average.

Also if you run your Limewire in UltraPeer mode. Then set Upload limit 15 KB/s lower than the max. Don't think it says so in the thread I pointed to
