when you set your bandwidth to a certain level, winmx has to throttle (or sample) it several times a minute to keep it within your defined parameters. the faster the throttle, the closer your actual bandwidth stays to the level you requested. tight parameters aren't that critical for someone with high bandwidth as they have more headroom to begin with but it can be extremely important for dial-up users since it can increase speed with other net activities and reduce isp drops. a faster throttle uses more resources however.

okay - I
think I get it.........well kindof.
A throttle of 250 does more sampling activity per minute than a throttle set at 100? I'm trying to understand the actual meaning of the numbers in relation to a dial-ups/broadband performance JS - having a tough time churning that around in the braincell barn.
Lower is less often, higher is more often? Higher and more often takes more bandwidth?
Bear wit me now, hit a bit of a snag you see........your feedback is appreciated!
