johnr is flying high
Default very slow despite fast connections on both ends

My broadband cable internet connection is rated very high by all of the online tests I've run, but I'm getting really slow bandwidth through Limewire ( sometimes much less than 1K per second.) My statistics page shows that, on average, between 80-90% of my signal is constantly being dropped. Why is this? I realize that download speeds are always dependent on the computers I'm connected to, but if the file is supposedly on a T1 or Cable/DSL server, why am I getting such tiny bandwidth from the few ultrapeers I'm able to see? Everyone says Limewire is the way to go, but before I invest in Limewire Pro, I want to make sure that it will really work.
