Hello !!!
I'm running 3.5.8 on OSX and the download rate rarely goes above 1K
per second for anything. I've already tried disabling the ultrapeer option & reducing the available bandwidth, but neither increases the download rate.
Any suggestions ?

*The following might be my new favorite reply (Anyone wanting to quote me ©, eh bien, you can!)*

"if
Behind a firewall: open the port 6346
and/or
Behind a router: open and forward port 6346 to your computer (ie 192.168.1.100) and in preferences of LW -advanced-force ip- check the option and select the 6346 port.

Bonne chance"

Salut Voila !!!
Thanx for the suggestion, but I'm already on port 6346 & not behind a firewall or router (that I know of...) Still, I tried checking the 'Force IP' box, restarted LW,
no change... sigh...

'desolé le pote. Merci beaucoup tout de même !!!

Salut, est-ce que ta connexion est au collège/université/lycée? Si oui ça pourrait être l'explication car ils limitent l'activité P2P. Sinon, peut-être que ton fournisseur d'accès internet limite l'accès à gnutella, ce qui pourrait expliquer un petit k/s.... (au pire tu peux appeler ton FAI pour leur demander.

ciao

I don't speak/read French? (I hope) so I'm not sure if your question was answered. But I have a search suggestion... change the Quality level in the Prefs to only show 3 or 4 stars. That will increase the chances of a good download. Also change the download speed to Cable/DSL or better.
