Hi Abarceo

I see that you are having certain problems which maybe caused by your ISP.

Anyway, two things that jump out at me could be clues to your current predicament:

You said:
Quote:
Downloading from 1 host, speed is between 6-8KB/s (downloading alone)
and
Quote:
A) Down Load = 126KB/s & Up Load = 51KB/s (no LW downloading)
B) Down Load = 60KB/s & Up Load = 48KB/s (with LW downloading at bandwidth of 13KB/s)
This suggests to me that your ISP, ARABSWELL, has probably installed "Bandwidth Shaping" equipment (aka P2P Throttling).

What this equipment does is heavily curtail P2P use while allowing other internet traffic through unhindered. If I am correct, and depending on how aggressive your ISP is in regards to P2P traffic, you could find that you can use LW at certains times when P2P throttling is toned down or switched off.

However, from what you have said your ISP is throttling your P2P connection aggressively but not to the extent where you can't use LW.

If you can, I would suggest that you ask your ISP if they are partially or fully curtailing P2P traffic on the internet. If they are only partially curtailing its use then when is the best time for P2P usage.

Good Luck



UK Bob
