NOW I UNINSTALLED JAVA AND LIMEWIRE, REBOOTED, AND THEN REINSTALLED THEM BOTH. NOW I HAVE 3 MOVIES DOWNLOADIN AND IM SHAREIN 1596 FILES. 10 dls A PERSON WITH 20 SLOTS OPEN. AND QUALITY IS @ TURBO. ONE OF MY MOVIES WAS IN THE UPPER 80s AND THE OTHER 2 IN THE 20-59 RANGE, RIGHT THIS SECOND THERE BETWEEN 20-48Kb/s. WHICH IS FINE BY ME, I LIKE THEM HIGHER BUT THATS BETTER THAN SINGLE DIGITS. 2 OF THEM HAVE 7 HOSTS AND ONE HAS 8 HOSTS. I HAVE IT SET FOR DSL OR HIGHER ONLY. ...........SO , Kb/s WAS GREAT AND ITS DROPPED ALIL, NOW NEXT TIME I USE IT, IT'LL WORK LIKE CRAP. THERE IS A COMMON FACTOR IN HERE FOR ALL OF US, WE JUST NEED TO FIND IT. LETS NOT FORGET I HAVE PENT 3,600MHz,256RAM, 20GIGHD, AND DSL. IVE RAN McAFEE VIRUS SCAN, CLEANED DISK, AND DEFRAG. I HAVE PLENTY OF OPEN MEMORY. MY AOL IS LIGHTIN FAST. NOW WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, OH WINDOWS XP PRO, ALL AND ANY FIREWALLS OFF.
