I have purchased LW Pro and I don't see any difference??????

Well im sure there is, it is not noticeable enough though, lol.. sorry im no help ;)

akustika,

If you don't have a 4.12.11 Pro installer saved, you'll lose that version if you install the basic 4.14.8;)

A few people have had problems with the latest version, but then that's bound to happen when a new version's released! Have a read through the different forum sections & see what people have to say about 4.14.8. I'm using it & haven't had any problems so far. The new version has torrent support.


vautoub,

Pro lets you connect to a few more hosts (eg 14 if you have a T3 connection) so the potential for faster downloads is there. Pro connects you to 5 ultrapeers, compared to basic's 3...so the potential for better search results is there. Whether or not you see much difference between basic & Pro depends a bit on what kind of files you're looking for as well...lots of people say that you'll see more of a difference if you're searching for rarer files.

Benchmark
 

Thanks for the info.

One question, is there an optimal performance with regard to download speed. Some sort of benchmark, so I can tell if I am getting the best from LW and my cable connection? The reason I ask is if I keep changing settings they will get worse or better but how can I tell when I hit the jackpot? Also I run a small program from windows sidebar called network meter V2.1 which has a tiny display that sits on my desktop telling me my DL and UL speeds and it never goes above 250KB. When I start LW my download speed always starts at this speed then over a few hours will gradually reduce to less than half that.

Any input will be gratefully recieved.

Ok guys, I called Roadrunner and did the online test @ Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and my speeds were at:

Download- 8139 kb/s
Upload- 796 kb/s
Distance- 50 miles from server

So then i went to Bit and Byte Conversion and i came up with:

Dowload- 1017.375 KB/s
Upload- 99.5 KB/s

They I went back to Limewire and the highest setting is 43.31KB/s. So why won't it let me go any higher???

I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere. Can yall pleeeeeaseeee help me?

Thanks
Robert

ok..so i have a major issue here...firstly,let me start from the beginning.on numerous times,i've read over and over again about limewire users( basic and PRO)on the internet,claiming that they can connect to 20-30 hosts and downloading speed between 90-500kbps no matter where they are(location/country).well,i wish i could say the same.they are happy,i'm not.i've been using limewire for two years now and all i get is maximum 10 hosts and speed up to 15kbps(on a good day somore!!)i've been putting up with that for a long time but i can't take it anymote.i use limewire mostly to download movies and songs..and i have to wait for days before it completes which can be very frusterating if you don't have anything else to do meanwhilea year ago,i purchased limewire PRO,but still that didn't make a difference.recently,i got myself a wireless router and a adsl modem.i installed limewire on my laptop.well,the speed improved a bit,from 15kbps to 39kbps.but i'm still not satisfied.i've done my part of trying every tips there is out there but none have worked for me so far.i've tried the T3,Four Star results only tips but no avail.i mean i'm happy that the speed has gone up now,but it must be because of the router and maybe limewire seem to work better when used wirelessly.could that be true? but what i really want to know or solve is,how can i get those much talked about speed i mentioned above??could it be that i'm just unlucky or maybe i've not configured limewire to work at optimal performance?if there is a way,could someone tell me how?the someones that claim they download at tremendous speed?lastly,i've susbscriped to my local ISP package which is 1.0Mbps..maybe that is the root of all my limewire problem?
anyway thanks alot for the help in advance..i hope i get a reply soon..i need a solution,not suggestions or tips anymore..

im a new bee to the forum and not very pc literate, i understand what was written and how to change the bandwidth, why change sumthing if it's working? why worry if it takes a little longer to download as long as you get it (ps, understanding how to change the bandwidth and being able to do it is another story)

I found in my lastest download that it had come from youtube, is it possible to take video files from youtube and put them into limewire?

wdupz...i have verizon fios w/ lw pro...i did a speed test...i dont see these speed on the options of lw, and my dl time on lw only go up to 30, but i know it can go faster...ne advice? (thnxz)
Download Speed: 15571 kbps (1946.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1422 kbps (177.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Open LW and go to Tools>Options>Speed, and set your connection speed to T3 or Higher, click apply.

Then go to Tools>Options>Downloads, and set the d/load bandwidth to 100% Unlimited, click apply.

Then go to Tools>Options>Uploads>Basic, and set the upload bandwidth to about 150KBs or whatever speed allows you to still use the internet without too much lag, click apply. You may need to experiment a little to get things just right ;).

hey fellas i am new .few things to ask.

I am a new member and user and I don't know how to get to the page where you download music and upload the song to your ipod. Anyone who can help is an angel in my eyes(-: Jennifer

There's no page here for downloading music...this is a help forum only. Do you have LW installed? If not, download Java first from this link: Java SE Downloads
Use the JRE offline installer & remove any other Java versions installed (via add/remove programs) before you install this one.

Next, use this link to download LW: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWireWin-full.exe

Once you've installed LW, read through the User Guide - LimeWire and Frequently Asked Questions - LimeWire

And if you already have LW installed, check out this thread for info about adding files to iTunes & iPod: How to transfer music to my iPod (& iTunes)

Please let us know which OS you're using, so we can move your post to a better place:)

hey murasame can u do 1 quick calculation for me plleease, i waana make sure i hav it all right. I have a Broadband connection with upload of 256kb/s and download of 2000kb/s. What do u suggest my limewire PRO setings shud b. Thanx man u ROCK!!!

If you do a speed test, I suspect you will find your speeds are around 25-30 KB/s upload and 200 KB/s download after line losses, etc. and after converting from k bits/s to KiloBytes/s. 10-25% line loss is typical. ;)
Browsers in general do not need much bandwidth, so I'd suggest you could give 80+% of the tested speed results to upload & downloading in LW.

I personally find the more bandwidth I give upload, for some odd reason the faster my downloads go. But my upload speed is up around 90 KB/s (around 750 kbs). I give maximum upload, it does not seem to affect my browsing, however it might for some people on slower ISP bandwidth plans.

Hi , I am a new here, this is great information.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to connect with satellite internet (HughesNet)
I don't see an option for it.

Thanks for any help!

Hi JEWELZ,

First of all, can you please post your system details (click on link): System details - help us to help you -> Provide these details when you post!!!

Also, have you tried using any other Gnutella clients?
Are you trying to connect during peak times or off peak?
Do you have HughesNet security (includes Zone Alarm firewall)?

If you have been able to use LW in the past without a problem (with HughesNet) & depending on whether you're using LW 4 or LW 5, there are various fixes to try.
If LW 5 Will Not Connect

If LW 4 Will Not Connect

:)

Hughesnet connection -thanx for response
 

Hello
So glad you responded, I included my info this time at the bottom.
I tried the LW 4 fixed that you suggested.
I still have only 1 bar and the brick wall showing.

I must be missing a step or something
I am connecting during peak times -sat aft., after work
I don't believe I have gone over my 24 hr download allowance.
(haven't been able to really connect.

I will call Hughesnet regarding security right now.
I have never used LW on Hughesnet before

Thanks for any more help :)
