Hi Friends I am LimeWire Beta User sharing about 160 files including songs and videos. Eralier i was getting minumum 11 Host connections per file while downloading. But Now it only goes upto 2 Hosts even if there are 50 Hosts available for that particular file but my Lime wire will not connect to more than 2 please help me in this

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.
12. How many incomplete & how many shared files do you have?
13. Try downlding a magnet link & tell us all the details as to connection quality over time, speed, etc.: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

I also I have this problem why do we get so little Number of users when sometimes you download a file and it has nearly hunderds or users. I usually get 10 users but I know people are getting more cause I heard from others on this forum.

Somebody please help with this Issue

If you have LW basic & a T3 connection, you can connect to a max 10 hosts. LW Pro with a T3 connection can connect to max 14 hosts. Slower connections will be able to connect to slightly fewer hosts.

For the exact numbers, use the forum search
