Just got a quick ? ISP says d/L speed is 6.0 Mbps and u/L is 512kbps. Did speed test with LW closed, results = d/L - 5984kbps & u/L - 422kps. What I would like to know is should I set my connection speed at cable/dsl or T1 or whatever.... ISP is Bellsouth Fast Access DSL. Any other help info for optimal performance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We are going to need a little more info.

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? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

Don't have a connection problem, I just want to get the best download/upload speeds for the speed that I have. I never had a problem downloading or uploading. I just want the BEST performance I can possibly get.
