LW Slows Down Internet

Hi -

I also have the same problem. I Used to use Limewire years ago - but have been mostly using Kazaa Lite Resurection recently.

I have found that the slow-down seems to be related to how many people are downloading from you.

I have a 2MB ADSL connection (so still got the crippliing 256k upload restriction!) And I have Ultrapeer disabled - but this makes no difference to performance.

Even though the people downloading from me only seem to be doing so at a slow speed (8kb ?) it still hammers my internet performance.

I can only imagine that LimeWire aint too good at prioritising and managing new threads (program threads here.)

Any clues ?

Cheers..

Opp.

THe recent versions of LW shouldn't slow down your browsing. IF they seem to, limit uploads to about 85% of your upstream bandwidth.

To find out your "real" upstream bandwidth, run a test like the one found here http://www.broadbandreports.com/stest

Hey,

I had the same problem, Limewire slowed down everything. Make sure you have the latest version of Java. That fixed the problem for me.

get it here:

hope it works,

Mike
