Hi, Iam not using limewire pro but the basic version, it is very annoying that 50% of the downloads are corrupt, and iam only told about this once I have downlaoded.
Is there any way of filtering out these corrupt files before I download them?
Remember Iam using basic limewire not pro...

Please help
Thanks

The most effective way I've found to deal with corrupt files is to make sure that before you download a file that has reported as corrupt. You first delete the instance of it from the incomplete folder. Then you can try downloading the file again. Hope this helps.

I have LimeWire PRO 4.0.7 on my system running Win98SE with a DSL Extreme(over512kbps) connection at my home. I have tried to download several .avi files for the entire day with no success. I have restarted the dls several times. I bought the LimeWire PRO because I thought there was going to be easier access to files. I noticed many questions about this on the forums, is there some kind of fix or is it a bug? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just started using LW basic a few days ago and I'm only getting download speeds of 2-3 kbs.

• My connection says "excellent"
  I'm only connecting to 4 star sources
  I have a 56 k modem running behind a firewall. I checked the port and it is not blocked.
  I have a Pentium 4 with xp os
  I tried forcing my IP but with no change in performance
  I'm connecting to cable modem sources or higher, usually T1
  I'm usually downloading no more than 2 files at a time
  I normally have 2 sources listed but can't seem to get more than that, even if they are very popular files.

I've tried some of the other suggestions in the forum and there hasn't been any measurable difference; then again the first two pages of this thread are mostly flame so after that I skipped to the newest section. LW purports to have the fastest speeds but this seems awfully slow. Any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,
Jeff

Up ability to download content is basically limited by host you are uploading from. Unfortunately, a large number of people sharing content on the network are either

#1 Firewalled
#2 busy serving other users
#3 using 56-128Kbps connections this translates to roughly
7-16K max downloads. Try to keep this in mind. If you want to test your ability to download let me know and I can give you access to a machine connected to a T1 and you'll see the difference.

Thanks for all of the information. Most people leave it out.
LimeWire displays the transfer speeds in KiloBytes data communications is rated in terms of kilobits.

Therefore, 56Kbit modem = max 7Kbyte
1Byte = 8 Bits
2KB = 16Kbps
4KB = 32Kbps this is more than 50% of your bandwidth.

Don't forget over head and actual connection speed which might be 45Kbps.

So, to make a long story short. Yes

I am another who is new to LW (ver. 4.0.7 basic on a P-IV 2.4G running XP[Home] with a DSL 256k conn. )
Problem is, while I know that I can successfully upload - the results are there - whenever I switch to "Monitor" active uploads are flagged "transfer interrupted". This occurs about one second after the switch, just enough time to see that the uploads WERE in fact active.Not all uploads are affected but those that continue are in the minority.
These uploads never resume - I have left them for many hours - and leave me feeling that I have failed to deliver my part of "the bargain". Must be frustrating at the other end too.
If this has been discussed elsewhere, my apologies, just point me in the right direction.
Hopefully somebody can help me with this and possibly also check out my other query - in "General Windows Support" posted 07-11-04.

I've noticed this problem when some people upload from me. I have come to two primary conclusion regarding this situation.

#1 They are trying to download too many files using a 56Kbps connection and the connections are stalling.

#2 They attempting to download content from a connection that prohibits the P2P transfers. Somewhere in between is a device used to block or significantly limit p2p transfers.

Again, I don't know if either one of these assessments are entirely correct but I have encountered this being the case in some if not most of the situations.

I would not be able to make a better determination until more specific testing can be conducted.

Thanx for your reply Lee.

While I have no doubt that your conclusions are correct, I am not sure that they totally address my problem. If the situation was in line with your speculations, some UL's would already be flagged as "transfer interrupted" when I switch over to "Monitor" - on odd occasions one or two but not often.

Possibly more are "connecting" than "uploading" but there isn't much time to see as very soon after the switch they change to "t.i.". Even if it is only a minority that are "uploading" why should they change at that time?

As for more specific testing - please enlighten me!!!
