Try downloading outside of peak hours & see if your speeds improve.

You could try changing ports...no guarantees that it will help, but it's easy enough to try. In LW tools > options > advanced > firewall config. Chenge LW's listening port to 64049 (or something in the range of 49152 - 65535) > Apply > ok.

Don't get confused between kilobits & kilobytes. 1 byte = 8 bits. So if your speed test gave you 810 kb/s that's roughly 100 KB/s. LW measures download speed in KB/s.

Misty Lady,

There's no force IP option in LW any more. I'm sure when the option was removed but it was a long time ago.
