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.

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.

..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
