If what you say is true then why can I transfer a 300 MB file in just a couple of minutes with any standard HTTP/FTP client while working online with no problems whatsoever?

If I downloaded that same file with Lime/FrostWire it would take an hour or more while using so much of my bandwidth that doing anything else on line is all but imposable????

There are also plenty of times that LimeWire itself will approach or equal HTTP/FTP speeds while uploading 30 to 40 Kb at the same time and will download that same file in nearly the same amount of time. I could better understand it if under that situation my bandwidth was limited out and it is. But like I said, any other d/l manager (IDM, Fresh Download, bittorrent etc.) will handle that same file in a flash while leaving me enough bandwidth to surf with no noticeable performance hit.
