Hi Gregor, thanks for your response. I'll see about getting my number of shared files under control (I have thousands of files shared out).

My network connections are restricted to about 20. With regards to my other settings, here is an educated-guess selection from my config file:

mDownloadMaxRetry=999
mDownloadRetryWait=4000
mMaxUpload=5
mMaxUploadPerIP=1
mNetConnectionTimeout=8000
mNetMaxHostToCatch=1000
mNetMaxRate=102400
mNetMaxSendQueue=500
mNetMinConn=4
mPushTransferTimeout=30000
mSearchMaxConcurrent=10
mUploadMaxSearch=64
maxConcurrentConnectAttempts=8
maxTotalDownloadWorker=99
maxUploadQueuePollTime=120
maxUploadQueueSize=100
maxWorkerPerDownload=99
orderingMethod=322
peerConnections=4
segmentHijacking=-1
segmentMultiple=4096
segmentTransferTime=90

Do you have any additional suggestions with regard to my sesttings?

Also, is there a FAQ or other document around regarding optimisation of Phex?

Thanks greatly for your help!

Cheers,
Fidel
