As I dial-up user, I wanted to inquire if downloading the new version of LimeWire (I have version 4.2.6) is going to make a bit of speed difference.
| No You Download speed is determined by your connection speed if you connect at 56k The best you can DL at would be around 5.5KB/s.
56K / 8 = 7 - overhead 56 x 3% = 1.68 = 5.32KB/s Quote: |
that is if LimeWire keeps me connected and if the users uploading remain on-line for as long as I need for the video clip to fully download.
| Dial up connections are notorious for disconnecting weather LimeWire is running or not. There are some applications out there that will try and keep your connection alive during times of inactivity. I have never used any of these apps and do not know if they work. http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/N...ls/index2.html http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search Quote: |
if I download and install the new LimeWire - will it erase the files that I still have waiting to be downloaded completely?
| No it should not but rarely people have said they have lost theres when upgrading.
