Hi Baz_UK,
Welcome to the forum. Each section has stickies at the top, have a read of then as they contain heaps of info.

There's also a search button (top right, between faq and home) that you can use to look through all archived threads. It's good

The thread below is just one of hundreds (thousands??) which talks about increasing download speed!

G Day Birdy Thanks for the welcome... From what I have read, To me seems to be afault caused by not checking 4 star rating!!
This field was check on studying limewire on first use, I have looked over the options help centre and dont see what else could be wrong .... I am sure I am missing something, Like I said I do see 9 hosts still slow... Would it be any help if I closed pro down and restart it!! Cannot believ I said that Think I will BBSAP.

It "is" possible to log onto a false up. So relogging on can refreshen your contacts as well as giving you healthy ultrapeers to connect thru.

I always lik to know what hosts I'm downlding from. Right-click the top of the downld window & choose to show client/version (sorry I can't remember the exact term & since LW is closed at the moment.) It it's a client other than LW, then you may suffer unreliable results such as those from RAZA (Shareaza).

Thankyou for your bit Lord, After refreshing pro I am on 10 hosts now speeds gone up to 18kb LOL I'm at 60% still telling me 10 hour Whoops 4 hour now damn whats going on Got too laugh..

Did you click to show what I suggested?

Within the main LW window it's possible to show "just" the search or "just" the downld window.

Sift thru these links to see if you can find what you need to do:
Drag partitions: See Drag window paritition up (click on link) image example.

Two options: 1. Click on the small arrows on the LW main window. If that doesn't work click the other arrow. 2. Drag the partition up or sideways; see examples here: Example A (click on link) & also Example B (click on link) (click on arrows to show single window)

Good stuff & healthy connection by the looks. Sure they're partial but better than less. If you want faster then offer faster downld settings & make sure the sources are fresh.
