Same here with a VDSL modem. I went back to v 3.6.8.

It is all academic anyway as i will just finish off my started downloads and then dump it. Poisoned is so much better there is no real point of comparison.

I have been watching both the up and down loads in both programs on the same material.

Poisoned smoothly proceeds to complete DLs at varying speeds up to 18/20Kb generally without breaks. LimeWire runs for barely a handful of seconds, usually at miserable speeds, before cutting out. If you do finally suceed in getting a file it can take days for a small file. Large files you can forget.

Poisoned successfully downloads hundreds of files in the time it takes LW to barely get 2 or 3. To exacerbate the problem LW handles long lists of DLs very badly.

A simple suggestion for you is to post in the General Forums if you wish to introduce/push a client which does not currently have a specific forum here.
