fix Upload bandwidth limiting

[sdsalsero]

This option (under Tools -> Options -> Uploads -> Basic) *used* to work, back before the whole 2.x series. Maybe it was designed to work with Java 1 only. In any case, it needs to be updated to work with Java 1.4.0 ...

It works here with Java 1.4 and LimeWire 2.5.5. Well... mostly. uploads have a habit of dropping to 0KB/s and blocking my upload queue - but in general it works.

You can look at the Monitor screen, get a feel for the total outbound bandwidth, then go into Tools -> Options -> Uploads -> Basics, move the slider from 100% to 25%, then return to the Monitor screen and see a difference? I sure don't.

I actually wondered if maybe it was a cosmetic problem, i.e., that the outbound traffic *was* being scaled-down but that the Monitor screen was failing to report it...

Hello!

The changes in upload bandwith does not have any effect on people already downloading from you.After you have changed that setting you have to click the apply button then OK.But before you even change it you have to do the following:

In LimeWire go to:

Tools>Options>Connections

Here you should temporary disable the autoconnect on start up option by unchecking it and then click Apply then OK.

Now close LW.

Now Relaunch LW and once again go into preferences and change the Upload Bandwith settings.Then re check the auto connect option then click Apply then OK.

Now from the File menu select Connect and LW will connect you to the network and the reduced Upload bandwith should now take effect on people downloading from you.

OK, I'll try that. It seems preposterously complicated, though. Bearshare (boo-hiss) bandwidth-limiting works intuitively, i.e., immediately!
