Dougm1966 is flying high
Arrow Limewire Exclusive net connection

Thanks for the setup info. I have a couple of questions I think maybe you can help me with..if you have the time of course...

Specs:

Win98se,466mhz,196meg of ram
Cable internet--100kps
Limewire Pro4.8.1
Mozilla browser
GaduGadu(GG) instant messanger program (It's a polish based program)
FreeRamXP

Here's the sceinerio--FreeRam runs all the time...sometimes it gets a little hung but that is not too difficult to deal with.


With nothing open--

I open Limewire first..Nothing else will connect to the net.

Open GG or Mozilla first and then Limewire, it's all good but at somepoint in time....Mozilla lose's the connection to the net and I have to close Limewire, reopen Moz and start again. GG doesn't lose its connection.

Limewire seems to dominate my internet connection.

Second question,

When I went to pro I thought I would get faster speeds and more searches, this is not the case.

My total d/l speed is about 23kb...

When I search I get 11 hits....ON EVERYTHING, well not everything...but on the top listings...there is only 11, sometimes 12 files....but the main number is 11, like its a limit or something...

When I first went to pro...about 30 minutes ago... I did return some searches and got 50 returns on some searches, I got excited...but it has now gone back down and I am totally confused.

I'm not computer illiterate..but I am when it comes to p2p. Well, not totally illiterate.

Any input would be great...Thanks for your support

Doug
