Need some tips on Speeding up Limewire Pro

[winston856]

Hey guys, I've just gotten the new Limewire Pro v4.4.4 but it's probably obsolete by now :P

I don't usually get good speeds on it and was wondering if you guys had some tips on how to speed it up.

I'm on comcast cable 4000k/256k (kinda one sided isn't it) and I'm getting anywhere from 1kbps to my max one time of 121kbps. More often than not i'm around 5-30kbps.

I have the listen port open 6346 or whatever it is. But is there more I can do? I usually download a lot faster on Bittorrent, like around 380kbps so I know this is not right.

Can you help me speed up this program? thanks in advance.

Dont use the app myself but that port is a common file sharing port and blocked or throttled by some ISP so if it has the option to change it use a random number above 5000 or whatever and the set the forwarding to match and see if that makes any difference...

Yep, the latest version is Limewire Pro v4.4.5, which is also probably obsolete by now too, lol.

Is there anything else I can do.

I've changed the port into the 17xxx range. I'm currently getting a file from 4 hosts at 2kbps!
