Check again that is fix #3 not the .limewire fix. Set your bandwith to 43KB/s if you are going to be on the net. T1 and T3 are very fast speeds and setting your bandwith to T1 will slow you down even more the minimum upload on T1 is around 200KB/s I think. The link below will help explain T1 and T3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signal_1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-carrier |

I don't know why or how but everything seems to be working just fine now, so I haven't needed to the .limewire fix. Thanks again for your help! :) :) :) |
so what was the problem? |
hello. i tried all the tips and at first it seemed to be bang on, taking my ave d/l speed up from 20 kbs right up to the 70s 80s, even 94 kbs! magic. now about 15 mins later im looking at 40 kbs for 1 file, and then 9 kbs for another file - both being d/l simultaneously... now do i have to do more tweaking? in which case i'll happily supply some more details. or is this to be expected, that the max d/l speed will go up and down and up etc etc thanks correction: now only a few hours later, im struggling to muster 4/5 kbs 0 i've tried changing my maximum downloads several times and nothings changing.... how can i tell what type of internet connection i have in order to choose the right option in "speed" ? and what is a "file with many sources" i can download to test my speed? please help a newbie.... i cant help that im a newbie! |

hmmm.... i had a look back at the answers you gve to Babi Yaga seems he had the same problem i did, as soon as i installed the recent version of java it all went great again! perhaps that was the problem, or maybe the time of day...... maybe LW is tempermental..... i dunno thank you very much anyway! |
Upload/Download Not Flexible Enough I noticed the other day that not only were my dowloads slow, buy my entire internet connection was too. Checking what was going out of my connection, I could see it was up to my absolute limit with people uploading from me. This was causing my downloads and my entire connection to go slow. Not a problem I thought, I'll just move the slider down a bit. But with my cable internet connection, my upload speed is 1/10th of my download speed, so even at the bottom of the scale it was too high. The only method I could think of to reduce the upload bandwidth was to set my conection as a 56k modem, which didn't allow for as high an upload bandwidth as I would otherwise have given. Is there anyway to set this with a little more flexibilty? Other people must have come acoss this type of problem before? |
Download speed - 6702 kbps upload - 953 kbps Windows XP Connection- cable (xtreme) Internet service provider- Shaw cable Modem-Motorola (model 585100) and Router -Netgear LimeWire Version 4.10.3 Java Version 1.5.0_06 What firewall you use if any- ? What Antivirus - Norton System works 2003 Are you new to LimeWire or Experienced- new An accurate description of your problem- I was wonering if when I set up the speed if I use cable or T1 or T3- and does this make a difference? |
