murasame upon closer inspection, you're absolutely correct. I haven't' actually connected my win verison LW & hadn't adjusted the slider. But when I did slide it down it showed the actual upld bandwidth & the % didn't change at all so ignore that last post of mine!

Having more than 2 upld slots in a little bit crazy for dial-up. I used to have 2 or 3 but became tired of seeing them continually competing with each other & dropping off.

In general I only dwnld 2 files at a time, however having it set for more allows the chance that I might connect to that less common & 'more difficult to connect to' file I might have had sitting on my dwnld list for some time. But simultaneously dwnlding from more than 2 is putting them all at risk of losing connection whilst using dial-up. This is the chance & risk I play. It's safer to just have it set to one/2.
