Hey KB: I have LW Basic 4.17.0 with java 1.6.0_04 and about 1,800 audio files. I have only 256Kb/s IP connection until can afford faster, which is primary problem. However, that should not prevent 'upload limits' per person set at 5, with u'load slots at 2, from working. It is not clear to me if the u'load limits per person are for each session, or permanent...do you know? Have followed your suggestions and also disabled 'chat' as an experiment to see if it helps. But I strongly believe everybody, at least with fast connection, should use 'chat', because it is primary principle behind whole idea of p2p sharing. Perhaps will leave 'chat' off until I get 5Mb/s+ ISP connection. Thanks for helpful reply, caseybob
