Very easy actually. As I stated when you have selected the download browse the host after the download has started.

Browsing is a little different. I don't think filters apply to browsing. But you can go to Tools>Options>Searching>Speed & select # or higher. Some people select the incorrect connection type when they set up their LW. Perhaps it's to stop them being filtered out or just a mistake out of ignorance. I use DSL but I set my connection type of modem.

It could be that they have their upld bandwidth shared among a large no. of uplders. It could be 10, 20 or 50+, etc. In which case the amount left over or shared between is small. Else they're a bit miserly with their upld bandwidth offering.

I tend to browse a lot & also use direct connect. I may keep a note of those ip's where they have a lot of files I'm interested in. (Only a problem if they use a dynamic ip.) So I'll DC with them when I want my files to continue or to downld more from them.
in the above you stated that you were at the bottom end of adsl...if you have the time, could you further expand on that...have been on LW for about 3 years and adsl the whole time...have the opportunity to upgrade to an enhanced adsl (2.5 vs 1.5) but this is the first time I have seen someone downslight the adsl as a factor with limewire....i am considering it basically because of my Downloading.
