I'm using LW beta on a mac. My speeds are not super b/c I'm at the bottom end of adsl. But it keeps me happy. lol
I tend to browse a lot & also use direct connect. I may keep a note of those ip's where they have a lot of files I'm interested in. (Only a problem if they use a dynamic ip.) So I'll DC with them when I want my files to continue or to downld more from them.
