Thanks for the info.

One question, is there an optimal performance with regard to download speed. Some sort of benchmark, so I can tell if I am getting the best from LW and my cable connection? The reason I ask is if I keep changing settings they will get worse or better but how can I tell when I hit the jackpot? Also I run a small program from windows sidebar called network meter V2.1 which has a tiny display that sits on my desktop telling me my DL and UL speeds and it never goes above 250KB. When I start LW my download speed always starts at this speed then over a few hours will gradually reduce to less than half that.

Any input will be gratefully recieved.

Ok guys, I called Roadrunner and did the online test @ Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and my speeds were at:

Download- 8139 kb/s
Upload- 796 kb/s
Distance- 50 miles from server

So then i went to Bit and Byte Conversion and i came up with:

Dowload- 1017.375 KB/s
Upload- 99.5 KB/s

They I went back to Limewire and the highest setting is 43.31KB/s. So why won't it let me go any higher???

I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere. Can yall pleeeeeaseeee help me?

Thanks
