Low Bandwidth

[shootist]

When receiving results of searches, the maximum bandwidth indication shows a maximum 0f 53. I used to receive higher bandwidths but not now. I am currently sharing 70Gb worth of files, my participation level is classed as low (46) although I regularly upload at a ratio of 10:1 or better. Does anyone know why I cannot achieve higher bandwidth results?

I was asking the same question on the board for "questions about using kazaa-lite". My participation level has gone down to 40 also, but the bandwidths displayed in the search field have recovered to 128 and higher. I have been told that bandwidth doesn't really matter in the selection of files to download with this version (v2.0) of kazaa-lite since the speed-up portion automatically searches for better sources. But I still get a psychological boost from choosing higher bandwidths to download!

I had KL on all day yesterday and had lots of people downloading from me. Yet my PL is a mere 16. What gives? This PL of 6 is probably why my d/l speed is .23kbps.

If it was a big file like for instance 650 mb you had to upload aound >5gig to raise your pl..!!
So that probably is your problem download. To raise pl you had to upload 10 to 20 times the amount you download... That's how it goes. If you care about a high pl use the cheater, otherwise forget about it. B)
