![]() You don't really need to do it for the dld bandwidth, but if you wanna do it anyway, you have to change your speed settings: go to the Options and click Speed, then set the thing to T1 and click Apply. The slider should go to higher values now (if it doesn't, exit the Options then go there again)

![]() Hi murasame, Firstly, I would really like to commend you and thank you for being such an absolute darling!! You have been soooo helpful to countless computer illiterates and confused like me, and so incredibly patient with everyone who keeps asking repetitive questions (even tho the answers are there if people just take the time and patience to read through all the posts carefully). So i'd like to say a big THANK YOU!! So rare these days to find people with patience and generosity of spirit!! ![]() I've managed to work out the maths a little, but still a little uncertain about other aspects, can I ask your advice on this? Quote:
I've tried to follow the last step f which you had recommended, but I'm afraid I do not really understand. Let's say, e.g. I am doing a simultaneous download of 3 files, 2 from Cable/DSL and 1 from T1, how do I know if the combined speed is near my max download bandwith? I presume the total no of files I d/l simultaneously will affect the speed, so I try not to d/l more than 3 or 4 files at the same time. However, most of my download speeds are really slow - most of the time at 0KB/sec, takes about 1 - 3 hours on average to d/l one file. Is this normal? Is there anyway I can adjust my settings to optimise my speeds? Or could it be that I am located in Asia be one of the key factors for the turtle speed? (I'm assuming that most of the hosts/servers are located far far away in US ![]() One last question: under Connection, what do those figures under Bandwidth (I/O) and Dropped (I/O) mean to laymen like me?

Cheers, Aggie. |

![]() hi... i'm new to Limewire, just bought it like 2 hrs back. I've been getting very slow download speed (15kB/sec although i have a 2MB ADSL connection) and then, while browsing through this forum, i came onto this post. I tried the stuff on the very first page of this post to try boost my download speed but it didn't quite work. Anyways, i didn't really bother to read the following 8 pages of replies, so i just want to ask this question: does enabling uploads help me in getting a better download speed? This prolly might have been discussed over and over in other posts but i just want a quick reply so i won't have to go through all the forum. Any help on this will be most appreciated ![]() Thanks |

![]() I'm new to Limewire and have read this thread (and some others) – it's great and has already helped me. I think I've put in all the numbers correctly but there seems to be a problem somewhere. When I try the Bug report it says “Received incoming this session: false“ but I can download and there are also uploads. Downloads: 2–4 KB/s, sometimes 8–10 KB/s and I even noticed 40 KB/s for about two seconds, the numbers are jumping all over the place, going up and down all the time (usually staying below 5 KB/s) Uploads: 8–12 KB/s Shouldn't it be the other way around? I used www.pitstop.com. According to that site my download speed is 1400 kb/s (175 KB/s), upload speed is 400 kb/s (50 KB/s). What exactly is T1 and T3? I've never seen that anywhere and I haven't found an explanation. Mac OS X 10.4.1 Limewire 4.8.1 DSL 2.048 Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Jeanny |

![]() aggiech, if you want generosity of spirit check LOTR's posts... He spends so much time helping people around here that I'm starting to think that he works for some kind of good-will organisation or something ![]() Anyway, first what I say in step f) is to take a single file that would seem reeeeaaaal popular (dunno, some hip-hop song or something) and download that. If you did the bits-to-bytes conversion well enough, then that file (with enough sources) should be able to get you somewhere around that number. (actually, you may have to try with 2 simultaneous dlds, as your download bandwidth seems quite large). Have you done a Bug Report test? As for knowing if the combined speed is nearing your max bandwidth, AFAIK adding them up is fine. You have to know that the more files you dld, the less available bandwidth you will have, because aside from bandwidth used to actually dld the file, some is also used to send messages between the downloading user and the uploading user. Help any?

![]() Ze_Saint, yes enabling uploads will get you better results. (besides, it's P-2-P and you should share, but oh well... I won't get into that right know. Just know that not uploading doesn't make you any less liable to get caught...)

![]() Jeanny, a T1 and T3 are satellite connections with huuuuuge bandwidths. What you should also know though is that your regular Joe can't afford a T3, so those that have them are prolly people sharing from work or organisations who deliberately go with the tempting T3 and spread fake files and whatnot. Do you have the OS X firewall enabled?
