I´m running 5.2.5 on vista... And lately my downloads a slow due to few connections per file... i use to put 25 per file... but since... when i try to type 20.... it comes back to 8 and make a "dig"... and also the total connection i cannot change up to 20...

Anyone got a clue what it could be?

BearShare doesn't recognize Vista's version number and reverts to Win98 restrictions.
To restore full performance, upgrade to any version of Windows XP.
If you've done that, try b25 if you want the maximum performance (50 conn. per file) from your computer.

somethong still... wrong.... i´ve managed to instal b25+B-Utilyties... but... i stil stuck at 8 per file
And what you mean by upgrade to any version of Windows XP?
Changing OS??

Yeah. Vista is still not ready for prime time, and it may never get there as long as that beta test
of that super-draconian DRM forces drivers to run security checks on the hardware over 30
times a second. I advise everyone who asks not to even touch it until it has been on the
streets for a couple of years.

Like I said on Monday, try b25 if you upgraded to XP. No version of BearShare recognizes Vista.

At least with b25, you can switch it manually into ultrapeer mode in Setup/Service.
That's a huge performance boost for searching and making sure people find your shared files. ;]

That problem should go to the LimeWire Connection Problems section. ;]
