NOW how do I connect with the new download bandwidth meter?

[RobOz]

Hey,

I have a cable modem, and I just installed the newest version of Limewire. I have a 250 kbps upload bandwidth so what should I set my download and upload bandwidth to? I am running behind Windows SP2 firewall but i can turn that off and put on Norton firewall. Which should I use for the best download speed? Currently, my video downloads arent going any faster than 12 kbps. Music is about 60-80 range.

but listen to this,

When I decide to change from "cable/dsl" to "T1" my music downloads seem to faster than 100kbps and my videos about 25-40kbps. But thats only sometimes.

I also have a shared internet connection. I cannot get on the internet unless my other computer is turned on. We are connected by these Netgear Powerline USB Adapters XA601.

Please help me get the best out of Limewire before I decide to switch to a different program.

thanks.
