Java Runtme Environment (JRE)

[Mr. Peanuts]

Yeah, I've found the reason my download speeds are so crap through any Java P2P client is because the JRE I'm using (which is the most up-to-date one) is crap.

I'm sure there's one that will run well out there and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

[Doc Flabby]

the most uptoday client breaks quite a few java programs i downgraded :P

[Mr. Peanuts]

To which version?

[Fallen Angel]

There are only a few very specific circumstances in which incompatibility with the Java 2 SE 5.0 platform can occur. In 99.9 % of the cases a pre 1.5 java program will run correctly.

[Mr. Peanuts]

I have 1.4.2 SE and my download speeds are just awful.

Are there no configuration options for it?

[geekbot]

Java is slow to begin with.

What do you mean "downloading through Java"? What kind of java program is it?

[Mr. Peanuts]

P2P software, so that means LimeWire and most BitTorrent clients.

I use BitComet for my torrents because its C++. I'd just like LimeWire back to how I remember it. I rarely top 13Kb/s
