 Down Load Speeds on Satellite systmes - Please Help
Please help, I am in Belize working on a remote Atoll managing a Marine Research Station and Lime Wire is a God send !!
My problem is sometimes downloads start off Ok with speeds of upto 60kb/s but after about 5- 10 mins they soon drop to 1-2 Kb/s. Sometimes when starting downloads the speeds start at about 1-2kb/s and don't stray far from this.
When I download limewire to install for the first time I can get down load speeds in excess of 300kb/s.
My internet is through a satellite connection with Direcway from Houston and a linksys wrt 54g. According to an internet speed check I can download at 1078 kbps and upload at 343 kbps - if this is the case why are my downloads so slow ?
I have deleted the .limewire folder as so many threads recommend but this is not making any difference and my Java is the most recent version as is Limewire.
If any one can help I would be very grateful, please don't make replies too technical I'm Ok on computers but not a genius !!
Many thanks |
