Are you sure you chose upload speed to curb bandwidth at? You may have chosen download bandwidth above it by mistake.

Torrents: I do not use torrents with LW, however 'if' you are downloading torrents then LW will share them at a particular ratio or attempt to. I've a suspicion your problem is with torrents & not files from the gnutella network.

As for the file that appears to have problems, is it a torrent file or a file from gnutella network? Torrents & gnutella network work in a rather different way.

I ues pirate bay for the torrent and limewire as the program it uses to download/upload. Some technical terms there for me so I think thats what you meant.
When I save the settings it does say save/ok and when I go back in to check, it is on the lowest upload speed but is uploading way faster than what I set it to.
Really sucks that my upload is super fass and my download is slow.
Upload can be 135kbps and download as low as 10 kbps.
Any ideas?
