Well, purplkoala that's good to hear.

Ahriman, I (obviously) read your post wrong... Anyway, 128K... If it's KB then your speeds are way off (remember, 128KB = 1024kb). If it's 128kb, then you should be seeing speeds of about 16KB (which isn't far off).
If you don't get it, read the initial post carefully.

Hi Murasame,

We got a new connection as below
How much percentage should I put the download slider and how much upload percentage slider??

The max speed I'm getting is 6 kb/s Is that joke ??

Thanks,

Habibalby

Well, as of today my purchased speed is (according to the ISP) 512K download/256K upload.

I adjusted LW Pro as follows:

Max DL: 3
DL bandwidth: 60KB/s
UP bandwidth: 38.75KB/s
UL per person: 3
Max slots: 3


I also configured the OS X Firewall so it will allow LW to use the default port. (I still get the "FALSE" line...)

To my joy, I got to a blazing 22KB/s for a moment there... It seems to be holding around the 10-15KB/s

Thanks for the help Murasame!

OK. Double and triple checking. I found that one of my lime wire ports were not on the right number. Now it's right and I have tried to pu 127.0.0.1 in but each time I save it, it comes back as "Mom" as a name... Is that right? I thought getting the "incoming" to say a # was going to be the major factor and suddenly would be getting higher download speeds. I don't really see a difference in the speeds. So where do I go next? Any ideas? It seems like I have done everything else that was recommended before I finally found the hidding port issue.

do you want a copy of the bug report again??

Somebody says that Port Forwarding is an Issue of our bad speed, does that make an issue ?

Thanks,

Habibalby

I am not sure if it is or not. I am not even sure how to find out if I need to set up a port forewarding of it I am capable of following the instructions to do such a thing. LOL

Arlene

i kinda got a questions
where do i check my download and upload speed ( i need to find it out to find what speed i need to set)
i dun even kno the difference between an upload and download
plz help becuz my downlaods are taking so long (like 1-5kb most of time) if i'm all wrong in what this post told me to do plz correct me >.<

my speed are 1.5M download and 256k upload

i know that means 187kBs and 32kBs but i cant use the slider bar to fit both download and upload bandwidth in a same speed!!

eg. dsl's bandwidth range are between 2kBs and 43kBs.
T3's bandwidth range are between 94kBs and 371kBS.

ok, i have around 1200 dl bandwith adn around 320 upload bandwith.

what do i set my bandwith of download for limewire.

what do i set my bandwith of upload for limewire.
