 Connection Problems Hi to all. I'm having a problem with my ADSL connection when running Limewire. I have no problem connecting to the network or making a file search but as soon as I start downloading the connection is terminated (actually , it freezes along with everything else!) within 2-5 minutes. I live in Greece, Forthnet is my ISP and I have a 384kbps connection using a microcom ADSL usb modem (AD 2622). Any ideas?  |

 Update your Java (see point #1 for link to Offline Java here): Fixes for Limewire Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Downlds & reduce downlds to about 80% of your possible speed. Do the same for uploads. Go to Speed setting & tick to disable Ultrapeer capabilities. The 384 kbps, is that a tested speed or the speed the claim to offer you? (Remember kbps = kilo bits per second. So to convert it to Kilo Bytes per second you divide it by 8. Overhead loss is generally between 20-25%.) That equates to about 48 KB/s but minus overhead would give you about 38-39 KB/s. So reduce it by about 4-6 KB/s so you have some left over for browsing, etc. Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.
