hi,

i understand what you are saying however, everything i was downloading before used to be at 50kbs but now nothing is.
it just seems really strange,
I download quite a lot of files from limewire (say between 8 - 12 files a day) and recently not once have i ever seen it go above 4kbs no matter what time of day or night.

i really can't emphasize enough how dodgy this seems to me, for example i attempted to download a file, it had over 80 hosts with a T3 or higher connection showing at the side, but still it only downloads at 2 or 3 kbs!

This didn't happen before not once, are you saying that i was 100% lucky before to get every file downloading at 50kbs?

thanks for you help
marc
