but when i dl something from limewire at the same time = connection drops!! getting frustrated now
I think your problem is that you are saturating the upload connection, something that is very easy to do at less than the theoretical bitrate for each tier. The 512Mb's theoretical on 10meg 'should' equate to around 60KB/s, but in practice you can start dropping 'ack' packets well before that (don't know why) - the suggestion is that you throttle your total upload to less than around 25KB/s, that 'should' stop the disconnections, then you can tweak it up, in stages, and try to find the 'sweet spot'.
