Default Help! (losing connection, slow downloads)

I used to have limewire and it started to run slow/wouldn't connect at all. After reading through some of the Limewire forums it said that if I downloaded FrostWire that it should increase speeds. So I downloaded FrostWire and it connects fine for the most part. When I am connected a lot of times the Connection bar will go from Turbo charge to connecting or poor, it is hardly ever constant. Then even when it is Turbo Charged the dowloads go at less then 1kb/s, and some of the downloads won't ever start, they will say Need More Sources, or Waiting On Busy Hosts. If anyone could give me some advice on what I could do to get that working better that would be great. Thanks.

If you're losing connection when downloading try these:
Disable ultrapeer capabilities (tools > options > speed).
Disable iTunes sharing.
Reduce upload & download bandwidth a bit.
Limit your simultaneous downloads to just 1 or 2 & don't resume all your incomplete files at once.

Downloads that never start (show connecting & then right away need more sources) are often fake.

If your downloads are always slow, download a file from here & see what speed you get
