One man said he could get only 20 kb, when downloading, but I can only get usually 2 or 1 kb. However, on downloads just from somewhere on the internet, I can get like 12 kb.

I think that that last long post by Leeware explained it, but I want to make sure I'm getting the max out of it.

Thanks

I had some real sucess with setting up my ip to router for limewire and now are able to download at much faster speed. However, sometimes when I am downloading from 6 users for a single files, it can never reach certain amount of speed. My guess is that I am not downloading from good connection users. But here's thing problem, said a file have 200 users avaviable, well I can never download any more than six users. So how do I increase the number of users I download from? because I know if I could just at least download from 10 users, my downloading speed will go off the roof. Can anyone help me with that?

In LW tools>options>downloads>Maximum Downloads ---- try setting this at 40-50. That should allow you to conncet to more hosts.

It did for me. You may have to tinker with it a bit to find out what is best for your setup.

Don't forget to click apply then okay, for the changes to take effect.

Have a good evening.

The settings you recommended he change would not increase the number of "sources" he's able to download from for a particular file. This setting controls the number of files you can download at any given time.


For example, If I set the number to 1 and I select from the search results 20 files to download. One will begin to download from all of the available sources and the rest will be queued until the file finishes downloading.


In other words, they will download one at a time. This feature is useful if you are getting good speeds for each of the files and you don't want to your other downloads to cut into those speeds.

Hope this helps.

So to make sure I get what you're saying, I should change the number of download to one and therefore, I would get all available sources just for one file until that one is done?

There is no relationship between the number of simultaneous downloads and the number of sources. What I'm saying is that sometimes you'll download a file that will have a few well connected sources and the file will download at good speeds. However, if you download a lot of files at the same time and they all have good speeds, you will maxout your download capacity and slow all of your downloads.

Several weeks ago I began using LW and had no problems other than download speed. (I had dial up). Last week I had a cable modem installed and now my downloads are even slower than before. I have a new Dell, XP OS, McAfee Viruscan. My firewall is set to allow open sharing of files. I have checked my transfer capability and it is typically over 1000K. Any suggestions?

There is a group that produces. A non-infringing video series. These videos are available for download via LimeWire. I know that you can get at lease 10 sources and completely saturate your download capacity. If this works then the problem is not with your connection but with the people you are trying to download from.

Let me know how this works out.

Hope this helps.
