Read with interest about what settings for upload slots, I wonder if having only a few slots per person limits the network?i.e. I dont know how this works ,but say i'm trying to dload something and host goes offline, or I go offline,and the host only allows 1 or 2 slots, then presumably i'm then unable to connect to that host again? as I.ve used up my slots with that host, then i have to find another host with same file? difficult with rare files, dissconnection may not be your fault,so you are left eith a file only partially dloaded,would it not be better to set upload slots much higher say 200 per person? especially if you are sharing a lot of files? Please excuse lack of know how here but forums have taught me more in the last few wks than months on my own!! but some topics have so MANY suggestions it leaves you unsure of the BEST. Please Advise,Thanks. Newbee2
