Hi,
I find that if I'm downlading a movie, and I leave it for a long period of time, very often I will be getting great speeds at the start, (50k/sec) but when I come back it will only have downloaded a tiny bit and the speeds wil have dropped to 1-5k/sec. Then if I start using my computer, surfing the web, they will speed up again. If I use "Find more sources" it usually helps, but I read that you should not have to do this if the accellerator is configure properly.
Sometimes I can be downloading with lots of sources, good bandwidth, and still get crappy speeds...
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks.
Just a guess here....but I would imagine under the KaZaa Lite ++ options menu on the Advanced Tab you have the box checked that says "Extra upload bandwidth when computer is idle". If so, uncheck it. What will happen if this box is checked is when you leave your computer alone for an extended period of time, KaZaa will start sending as much data as it possibly can to other users. What this means is that your total amount of upload bandwidth from your ISP is being choked by sending data to other users and there is no room to send out requests for more data for your downloads.
