my limewire is usually good. My songs download at about 150-200kb/s but when i try to download videos or programs it goes around 25-50kb/s. why is this happening? is there a way i can fix this?

Many of the movies out there are from other clients such as shareaza (RAZA.) Raza is reknown for offering poor upld speeds for LW users. So even though you're downlding from a no. of sources, one or more of these could be raza or dial up users.

See all the off-shoot links from To continue files downlding (click on link) to find xtra hints & skills.
