With a 28.8Kbps modem. There is not a whole lot you can do to improve your download speed. Think about it this way it will take you 5-6 minutes to download 1MB of data. Therefore, if you are trying to download a file larger than that your download time will be equal to 5 Minutes * NumberOfMegaBytes. A person in this situation has two options.

#1 Download small files.

#2 Get broadband.

Hope this helps.

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
