Uploads are halting my system Help!!
 

I have 298 people waiting to up load a file 34 connections on my screen with 18 uploading and 10 waiting my system has come to a halt everone is uploading at 1kb how do I limit uploads cause i can't browse the web with this using all the bandwidth. I have ASDL 560K connection help.

Under Options | Uploads, there is a field to limit the number of simultaneous uploads per person, and another to limit the overall number of simultaneous uploads. You can also reduce or increase the amount of bandwidth allocated to uploads. I believe it takes effect the next time you start up Limewire, so after changing the settings, you'll have to stop and restart.

There's also an option (somewhere, can't remember where) where you define your type of connection to the Internet. I believe -- although I'm not totally sure -- that Limewire deduces the optimum number of Limewire connections to create based on your type of Internet connection. It used to be that you could specify on the Connections pane how many Limewire connections you wanted, but that was removed, because too many people were abusing it and setting up 12 Limewire connections with a modem connection to the Internet.

tried setting slots to 5 also reduced the bandwith but it keeps going back to default of 20 slots think best ideal is to remove the file everyone is trying to upload. be grateful for anymore suggestions and thanks.
