Hi there people. I have Limewire version 4.10.5 and at the mo its running way too slow. When i download something, it downloads at 3-8 KB/s.
Any insiders?Can i get round this nuisance and speed it up to 100KB/s by any chance?

it all depends on the number of "host" you get. how many host did you get? one you do realize you will eventually infect you computer.

i got like 3 hosts but i thought it was irrelevant as i didnt get the message status "need more sources" argh i hate that. i just want it working at 100 kb/s. it works at 3-8kb/s as i have stated but ive seen my pc on a good day go right up to 320 before and that was just awesome but the problem is maintaining that.

Limewire? Surely Frostwire has overtaken it?

I believe "needs more sources" means it can't find even one host. I'm using Verizon broadband and have never topped 90, even with 7 or 8 host. If you have gotten 320 in the past, you must be using cable. 3-8Kb/s is more like Dial-up speed. Maybe you are already infected. Are you using a anti-virus, firewall, spy ware & ad-ware programs? even if you are that still can not stop what you voluntarily download.

Use bit torrent
eg Azureus, Bitcomet, Utorrent
Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.
