What speed am I?
 

According to my service provider, Charter, I have broadband 5meg/download
and 512kb upload.

What should I set my speed at?

The songs I want to download say T1 next to them, and all I get is "awaiting sources", or "need more sources"

Be kind, I'm over 50, and thanks for your help

Are the files you want to download sitting connecting for ages before needing more sources? That sounds like fake files, they're a pain. Read through the sticky below for info & tips;)
