Since upgrading to 2.8, I've found that downloads progress far slower than they used to, if they even progress at all. Search results are inconsistent and most downloads are likely to show "Requery sent, waiting for reply." Most downloads that do manage to begin won't complete. I haven't gotten more than 10kB/s on a single download. I used to peak at 300kB/s.

As always, uploads progress at a snail's pace - I can't upload much faster than 1kB/s. An adjacent Windows machine doesn't have this problem.

LimeWire is the only program running. Nothing's asking for more CPU than the machine can handle. The disks are quiet. There's a gigabyte of memory. The network is incredibly fast. Come on, guys, what's the problem?
