The Application Data folder is "Hidden' or invisible. You need to follow the instructions in the sample image. Either your LW prefs folder will be called .limewire or limewire depending upon whether you've previously had an earlier version of LW than 4.10

So don't manually go to that location, use the search function with "show hidden files & folders" option turned on 'before' you search. Deleting the LW prefs might not make a difference to everybody, but does to some people.

Downld speeds depend upon your hosts/sources. So if you're downlding from someone with a fast connection, they may only have a small amount available either due to too many others uplding from them (eg: too many upload slots for their speed) or they're stingy. Also, some people set their LW as having the wrong connection type (eg: dial up users might set it to dsl, etc.)

Inconsistent speeds can be due to many factors. The net is very dynamic & is changing all the time. If you're downlding from someone with a dsl type connection where uplds affect downlds, etc. then their speeds offered my fluctuate. Fluctuations can be due to others starting to upload from them or might be due to local net traffic (net conjestion is a major problem for some ISP's is the USA for example during peak times.) If you watch the speeds of your uploads, you'll notice they sometimes tend to fluctuate somewhat. So ...

If your speed drops, then try reselecting the downld. 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)

Re: The forums slow speed; that's a server problem we're having. Hopefully not before too long we'll be moving onto a faster server. It gets ridiculously slow at the moment.
