Im a novice at all this downloading business.I joined limewire yesterday, but my question is..... Is it normal for a download to take 24hrs and it is still only 72% complete. I have dsl and I dont know if there are things i have to adjust.

Please be kind if you are going to reply!

hi i know what you mean. but on the bright side i have just downloaded limewire accerator and it seems to make them go a bit faster try a search for it.

IT depends upon your sources. How fast/bandwidth they are willing to offer you or have available, or else how you utilise sources by finding others also. See the following link & follow “ALL” the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

Accelerators for p2p don't really work. The majority of people who have tried them have found them to be a lie/con. It makes you think you're doing better but actually not. This has been discussed on the forum before. Search the word accelerator on the forum using the search button above right.

Thankyou very much for your reply.
I veiwed Lee ware's sticky and followed his tips on the settings required in the tools section. I have since downloaded 3 songs in a matter of minutes, but im yet to attempt a movie as I keep getting the need more sources but I'll keep ploding along.
Also I'd like to say thankyou for this forum as I have learnt so much on this subject and I know that all you guys spend your own time on answering our questions.

Again many thanks.
