Drop your upload speed to about 80%. And allow LW to settle down before doing anything. LW takes time to load & account for each of your incomplete & shared files. It also tries to connect to each incomplete one by one. During this time LW is busy. Jumping in too soon can put pressure on LW's resources.

Also, don't use the Resume button on all your incomplete files. This can have side-fx of using up all of LW's resources & can affect LW's connection quality. It can also slow your computer down.


Some hints: 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.
