Yes, that was me. I don't know what possessed me to write such a detailed post as above last night; must have had lots of energy.

Deleting the incompletes has an effect on LW. It means it loads faster, settles faster, less VM drag due to the incompletes trying to connect on their own & LW handling the overall load. It's very much related to OSX's Java & its inefficiencies. I have a lot of incompletes & my LW runs slowly.

Thanks for the tip, LOTR. I'll have to wade through my incompletes. I've noticed a slowdown, and my incompletes folder has increased, so perhaps that is why. I wish that when I deleted something from my downloads that it would automatically delete it from my incompletes, but I appear to have to sort through them by hand.

Defragmentors for OSX: I use Norton Utilities -> Speed Disk (but only very occasionally - less than in OS 9.)

I now recall I have Norton Speed Disk. I seem to remember liking it, and it was recommended to me by a Mac friend of mine.

Sonnet, i was prob the host you killed. lol. i download albums, which means i download from 5-63 songs at a time. since alot of people have albums, generally they will come from the same host. (then it takes half a day listening to, editing and moving the album.)

i have never been able to D L more than (3) songs at a time from the same host. my up-loads are set at 12-16, (for multiple hosts.) actual songs D L are only about 8-9 at a time. don't have probs finishing the albums.

Sorry if it was you I killed; lol

I do have mine set to 1,000 files per person, so I don't mind if people have that many; but for some odd reason LW was being way too generous in its allocation of upload slots and queues for this one IP address. Usually it only allocates one to each IP; anyone else gets an "Upload Limit Reached" error. It's tricky for me, because I'm balancing people who want smaller files with files that may be 500 MB. I try to allow both.

As to why you can't do more than three from one host, I don't know what that would be, unless someone has literally allocated only three files per user. If so, I think that limit is aburd for music files. Or, maybe there is a bug in LW which doesn't properly allocate slots as happened with me. I don't know if that was a one-time occurrence or not, as I'm usually not watching it.

Off topic but seems like there was mention of someone around here with a ton of hd space they use to share a lot of files; several G worth, I believe. I'd like to find out who that is and see if they would be interested in taking some of my files; my hd is almost out of free space. I'm going to burn them to CD but it seems a shame to not have them enter the P2P community. Rather than stop sharing due to lack of space, at least for now, I'd like to see the files get a good home.
