Download Speeds

**Dark Side** · 10-15-2003, 09:52 AM

I have 512k and most times I download at 3kb or under but som dl's happen at 20kb/sec I even got 40kb/sec but not for long is there a way of optimizing DL speed?

Or is it because of the supernode?the user's connection?

I have a Zonealarm firewall btw

try to find more sources the more sources means more people to download parts from.

What about a mod to the kazaalite program that tells you the type of connection a user has ?

Like on WinMx, Morpheus, Etc.

That way at least you would get some idea.
