Question movie download speed

Hi

I have read many of the forums concerning the optimization of limewire and have tweaked mine considerably. My music download speed is always fast,like 30KB/s but I am trying to download movies now and I am getting download speeds of like 1-2KB/s. Is there any way of fixing this speed problem?If not could someone please explain to me why the speed changes drastically?

Sweet Sweet
Thanks

Hiya...

One major factor to consider is that you may be D/Ling files that are extremely popular...
And
That they may be files being shared by individuals who are simply trying to share far too many files of far too great a size...
ALL at the same time.
Hence, you are only being allowed a very small segment of their allowed UpLoad bandwidth...

Crazy, hmmm ?

There are hordes of people out there with 1M connections allowing so many sharing (Upload) slots that they end transferring each file at a slower rate than would a wise 56K modem user !!!
