F***YOU is flying high
Default What the hell?? (number of hosts for downloading)

I'm trying to download something and this is really bothering me.
as all of you know, you can't download anything quickly without a bunch of other people, which I look for because it's just easier when there are a ton of other people sharing it as well.
I can't seem to figure this out though: when I download something interesting to watch, not all of the entities out there with this episode/movie to share are listed as hosts when I am downloading the movie. for example, right now I am downloading something and it is listing only 10 hosts, of the 16 available, so this download ****** is not going as quickly as it could be.
anyway, WHY AREN'T ALL THE HOSTS THERE TO HELP OUT? It is really annoying. I mean, if you are listed as "sharing" you should be sharing, right?
is there any way to make these episodes download with all the hosts being available for you?

I'm not sure, I would say it's because not all 16 hosts are 'on line' at that time! I certainly do not keep Limewire or my computer running when I'm gone to work or somewhere. In fact, I unplug my DSL every time too, just to keep hackers out! I have tried to warn ppl getting uploads from me that I'm logging off and will be back the next day. But most ppl have their 'chat' option turned off. I know it took one person about five days to get one particular upload from me!

Because you have LW basic & a T3 connection, or LW Pro & a cable/dsl connection?

If you have basic with a T3 connection, the max is 10 hosts. LW Pro will give you a couple more hosts if you have a cable/dsl...10, or 14 with a T3 connection.

The host limits are set to avoid network congestion, huge queues & make sure that everyone, with their different connection speeds, can download successfully.
