Can sombody please explain exactly how to decypher the connections tab information ? - For example - What do the incominging and outcoming message numbers tell me ? do I want host with many Incomming and only a few outgoing? , Or the droped status ? can some body explain what the desired numbers should look like. The FAQ is very unhelpful on this , and I'm trying to figure out why on a 1.5 mb connection, my downloadspeed is only running around 6.5 to 8.0 kbps - any help would be great . Also does Limewire Pro no longer support the "browse Host" feature, It's is not on my search screen where the FAQ says it should be, but then hardly any of the screens in the FAQ reflect whats actually diplayed on my end.
Thanks, Wyatt -

The message numbers are an indication of how good your network connection is. The higher the better. Note that these values don't have a chance to get as high with an ultrapeer connection compared to a 0.4 connection. That doesn't mean your connection is worse but rather fewer messages need to be sent with ultrapeer. The Status column is the direction that the connection was initiated (incoming = connection to you) but after that point data flows in both directions. Bandwidth measures by direction the amount of messaging traffic transferred including search results and queries. I don't know enough about the ideal mix of messaging traffic to answer your specific questions.

Browse host is no longer in LimeWire; it may return in a future version and be more likely to work.
