Well I must be doing good so far. I keep the D/L que empty unless something is active. The system is defragged every other day automatically. All I needed to do was upgrade to 1.6.
I did notice after I restarted LW the connection were around15 or so but reduced back to 5 after a few seconds.
I'll leave the system up and running and check it in the morning.
Thanks again for the help.
