rsbabyone--nice idea, but LW keeps trying to do what steppinRazor suggested.

As you can see, one month's "optimal" config becomes quickly outdated. LW is configured to give the best out of the box, and the boxes keep changing.

So, the advice quickly gets outdated. The connection problems are a good example. LW now can configure around the new firewalls and routers without the user having to try and figure out IP, ports, routers, LAN's and all those other headaches that drive networking engineers crazy

Thus, when one of the few of the million users has a problem, the forums respond as best they can.

btw Rabion, my ISP starts throttling bandwidth at ~60GB/month, so check with yours. Running as an UP uses about 1GB/day, so I usually reduce shares to rare content, let LW run all weekends and don't download much at all. This gives gnutella ~ 30GB/month of my bandwidth, still leaves lots for the rest of the family and doesn't hurt the neighbours who share the cable WAN

Gotta keep the whole community happy, right
