poor downloads
 

i have been using limewire now for a couple of months but downloading isn't very good. you can never find new downloads and when you do download it takes forever! i have been trying to download a video of over a month now and i'm still in a queue!!i am quite cheesed off really and am thinking of cancelling my subscription.

What speed do you have? If you have dial up then you're very ambitious downlding a movie. LW's performance also improves if you're uplding.

Some hints: After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st. Also don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
