Noticed also that there is still a firewall in front of the globe in Limewire. Have checked all exceptions in Windows Firewall concerning LW; and have Use UPnP checked. Current port setting is 18362. Have set max downloads to 15 which is 7 higher than the default setting of 8. Set upload bandwidth at 40.25 and set uploads per person and max upload slots to 2. Have appreciated all the help provided and if there are any other tips please be sure to let me know.



Thanks,

Just ran a speed test through Bellsouth FastAccess DSL, and currently have the following download and upload speeds; 3.0 Mbps for download speed and 375.0 kbps for upload speed. Still have wall in front of the globe which (obviously) means that I'm not on the right port setting. I've currently set uploads per person to 2 and max upload slots to 3; if I should change these settings in order to have higher download speed please be sure to let me know what I should set them to for optimal performance. Have repeated many things here, sorry for this, just trying to finetune LW for optimal performance; and the suggestions and tips have resulted in much better performance overall. Thank you everyone for your help and please keep me posted if there are other tips; also, need to know whether (sorry for repeating this) setting the port to 50000 or above will have any impact on the performance of LW. On another note, if there are any new skins for LW please keep me posted as skins are also important to me.


Thanks again,
Andy Perkins

How do you post a new forum because I have many questions.

start a new thread

Well, since we last spoke, Bellsouth has downgraded download and upload speed to the lowest level. Am now on Fast Access DSL Lite and the latest speed figures are the following:

DL Speed: 252.0 Kbps
UL Speed: 125.9 Kbps

If there is anything I can do to maximize performance, please let me know. Also, have LW on exceptions list but am not sure how to configure the router; still have firewall over the globe so obviously it hasn't been configured properly yet. Once again, I'd like to thank everyone for the tips they have provided and am waiting for any new skins for LW. Currently have the Holiday Theme, the Valentine Theme, the Party Theme and the Patriotic Theme. I have also posted a thread containing some suggestions for new skins; the thread is Ideas for Skins under the Open Discussion topics Forum.


Thanks again,
