A few things to consider while configuring Limewire for optimal performance...

thanks for the help. when I checked it this morning there was around 15-20 partially uploaded/transmission interrupted. There has been about 4 ips that have been trying for a while so I was wondering if there was a way to limit the upload to these ips until they have success?

sorry, prob another silly question. I tried the chat option but it came up with host unavailable. Is the host another user or just a server?? is anyone likely to respond? There's now around 7 files in the upload to 6 different hosts...

Host unavailable is not at all uncommon. So many people leave their p2p apps running whilst they're away from their computer; be it at work, school, bed, out for the day/night or have their p2 app hidden in the background whilst they use other apps.

thanks for the clarification. Is there anything else I can/should do to improve file access? Can I limit to a particular address, if so, how?

The only thing I can think of is to temporarily reduce the no. of upload slots. If they have the ability to upld faster you could consider increasing the upld bandwidth temporarily. I do this from time to time if one is struggling (& I'm present.) A more permanent solution might be better coming from Murasame.

Oh, with the latest LW beta 4.1.7 you can suspend particular uplds (& dwnlds also.) Perhaps not the prettiest of solutions but a solution all the same. There's also LW beta Pro if you're interested.

OK, will try this. i dl lwpro and I can see the kill upload....sounds nasty If nothing else, well then people will have to be patient. will also monitor how many files I'm sharing etc.....thanks again.

I must apologise about my last suggestion! I had the 4.1.7 jum build open at that time. The official 4.1.7 beta doesn't have the pause for uplds (only a pause for dwnlds.)

Thanks for this helpful post. I'll certainly try this when I get a response from the LimewirePro help about my main problem. Dumb question, but is there a way to print these posts without using up all my colour cartridge and getting all the stuff on the page? The I'll be able to read them and understand them when I'm sober.

OK. Just found "Show printable version". Now I feel really stupid. I'm sure it wasn't there before. Going to hide my head now.
