Pipeline,
you are downloading or using your bandwidth for other programs while using MS Messenger, correct? I noticed that my messenger signs itself out when I download MP3s
. It seems that Messenger logs itself out when it finds that insufficient bandwidth is available.
I do not really know if the bandwidth is solely based on your internet connection speed. I am still one of those "old-fashioned" or "poor pilots because they have to pay back a huge loan to some bandits" people that uses my phone line instead of cable. At 52,000 bps Messenger cannot handle or accept MP3 downloads. Pretty selfish, that might tell you something about the company
I haven't used Kazaa a lot, but audiogalaxy (ugh! puke!) has one useful setting called "bandwidth throttle". You can narrow your bandwidth, which is nothing more than allowing a slower download.
Hope this helps!
