turning off uploads shouldn't make much difference. We used to throttle uploads to 85% of upload bandwidth, but I don't know if that's really necessary any more with the newer LW's.

Really--if you want to test your downloads, try the free and legitimate files from www.magnetmix.com

better yet, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036

lol
 
Yep called cable comp, I have 128kb upload speed, and 1mb download speed. So I shouldnt be getting 2kB download speed off of another persone that is listed as cable persone too. I love like i said before, one min i am able to download off someone and the next im waitting in line, or waitting on a busy host.

Limewire the worst???
 
Limewire the worst? Dont think so!

I think limewire easily beats Kazaa and the rest, its easier to use, looks better, runs smoother AND is MUCH faster!
:D

But agreeing with many other posts on here, u gotta make sure its properly configured!

yep so true love lw
 
i do love lime wire best but wish people would share their files, instead of showing them but not letting anyone download them. I have over 500 files listed and avalible. but when i try to download i still get good for a bit, then it will say need more sorces, do a new search and they are still listed in the search, making me think they are still on line just not shareing i could be wrong.

This might help you. Just some tips: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities. Finding xtra sources by searching can sometimes get you out of your 'waiting in line'. Of course you probably already saw Stief's link to the 2nd one anyway.

Limewire is By Far the best p2p program available! Anyone who uses Kazaa or Morpheus has no idea about the crap they put on your computer. Aside from selling your information to anyone on the internet...that's a whole different topic! Something like 70% of the files that come from users of K&M are laden with viruses and corrupt.

The key to using Limewire succesfully, is to know 'which' files to download. Some people search for a song, one comes up and they don't bother to look at the size, or type of file it is. Boom, virus, corrupt! A song will never be any less 3Mb (unless it's a shorty).
So when you download a song, look at the size and file type. If it says 134K, don't download it!! Period!

As far as 'speeds', it's all your connection or the other guys...has Nothing to do with this software! Period!
