But as you pointed out, you have limited bandwidth and this may be an issue to you...On this point, you should probably only be connected to 3 hosts at once, which will greatly minimize the amount of bandwidth you use to hold your connections, like to under 1 Kb/s. | Kazaa is not fully decentralised, so it takes less bandwidth to connect. If you run LimeWire in a Java platform its running real fast, its Windoooz fault. |
