I ran the test at the site you used on mine it read 6508kbps which is 813KB/s and 356kbps which is 44.5 KB/s.

kbps means kilobit and KB/s means kilobyte it takes 8kbps to make 1KB/s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KB/s

So the results you got mean you have about 33KB/s Download and 7KB/s Upload. Use the speed test site at the link below it is in the Czech Republic, it is located in Prague. And should be more accurate for you. It showed me as 159KB/s Download which would be about right for 1/2 way around the world. I think the test site you used is in the US.

This is really weird, but now I know that in your last post you hit the point. I can´t explain it to myself, my speed should be..download/upload - 3000/300Kbps, but that DSL test shows - download - 33 kB/sec and speed of connection - 264,4 kbps,..
My speed was better in past, so if it will not improve soon, I will make a claim it.

So you need to set your Speed to Modem. Then set your Download to unlimited and your UL limit to 5 or less. Try this if it doesn't help there are some other things you can try. But your ISP may be filtering P2P networks.

This speed is only very temporary, I will let it now and when it will be O.K., I will ask you for advice.. Thanks

I guess that now I understood to these things..I probably exceeded my limit for download.., because in last week I downloaded about 15GB of tv series( Lost- its great by the way.., I reccomend for your help)
On web pages of my cable provideri s not written how big limit is..Perhaps tommorow (monday)it will be o.k.
So can you please advise me how to best set up Limewire for these speeds?
download/upload..-3000kbps/300kbps
Thanks

With 3000/300 your best settings would be to set limewire to cable/Dsl or T1. But T1 the lowest Upload setting is 31.75KB/s which you can probably get away with. Download unlimited Uploads should be set around 30KB/s best to allow 3 or 4 upload connections the more connections you allow the more bandwidth required to communicate with them. I would not Download more than 2 or 3 files at a time. And try not to have more than 1 or 2 waiting for sources at a time.

Thanks a lot, I am really greatful...

Your Welcome, Your English is fine I had no problem understanding what you were trying to say.

There is a tool called Ispell that you can use to check your spelling if you wish. Hell English is my language and I use it. If you look up at the right corner of the reply page and click on the ABC with the check mark below it, It will take you to the I spell site. Or you can click on the link below.

..the ookla speed test thingy, run several times

..variable d/l, from 194kbps to 380 kbps, mean 280ish

..variable u/l 240 to 305kbps, mean 260ish

..which follows the ups and downs i keep getting when d/ling, 0-40, now how do i get a nice steady d/l, cos it's giving me mal de mer

..and why's the max u/l i've seen only 8, in theory it should be better than 20, and it does the up and down too

..is my location the problem, wi-fi on the edge of the world, very southern Mindanao, i've been considering upping bandwidth (and therefor cost) but only if i can get some sort of steady rate with existing machinery

1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98) ...xp pro
2. What firewalls you have? ..xp standard
3. How much ram? ..128
4. Hard Disk space available? 10GB
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ..wifi
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? ..?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)? ..home
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version...LW pro,
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)..Smart
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.no
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?yup fine
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml..yes

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False..true

13. Do a speed test post the results here...45/25, 25/42 etc via SF
