My Sousl;eek Is Just Pissing Me Off!

[Adster]

ok for a stat don't blame ISPs I get great full speeds with other P2P clients such as torrent and kazaa but soulseek latley is f*cked up badly for me its not using my bandwith its goin gfrom 10k then suddenly drops to 0.3 and stays there for ages and locks up its pissing me off I was getting better speeds with 56k

I have re installed cleaned up the registry installed a new partition everything Im totaly f*ck up :angry:

[Adster]

and yes also I am not running any other P2P whislt runnign soulseek

[3rd gen noob]

i tried going on soulseek again tonight
first got the "can't connect" stuff, then the program kept crashing :(

[jetje]

well adster your behind a router ? Do you have set all settings set right?

check check double check before complaining... it ain't soulseek cause otherwise all would have it and i can assure you that ain't the case... so it's your settings or your isp...

But i would start checking your firewall settings or router settings 1st!

3rd gen noob read what i said to adster.. ;)

@jetje, it's not a firewall problem, it's the actual program being unstable on my comp... :(

[Adster]

well for a start I don't have a router or firewall and as i siad its not my isp becasue i get speeds with bit torrent and kazaa fine

[Jibbler]

Maybe you are downloading from slow users? Or were you referring to your own upload speed? :huh:

[Adster]

this is happenign to every user im downloading off

the stange thing is my uploads are goin gfine there using up my availble upload bandwith :huh:

I just did a test now without ss on and torrent goes at 23k :huh:

ruyles out the chance of my isp fault

[Jibbler]

Well Ad, I'm no expert, but its sounds like you're downloading from modem users. Nothing sucks worse than paying $50/month for a broadband connection, then finding a user on 56k who has the files. B)

that could be because they use different ports... check the soulseek faq, there may be a solution... Still think you should check the settings of your pc ad... if it was a soulseek problem we all would suffer that, and you know that isn't so...!

Do you have a software firewall like Norton Internet security... or the byuild in XP firewall?

[Adster]

problem is jibbler I was getting these spoeeds off you?? :huh: and other ppl in our room :huh:

that&#39;s mentioned in the ss faq.. is Luca around on ss, he can help you but CC, Guitar and some others will know that as well i guess... when i adjusted that a few months ago i could see all, and a lot of stuff just worked a lot smoother..

[dingoBaby]

Did you accidentally adjust the max download speed, on the transfer screen? I have done that before when trying to open and close slots. Just a thought.

[Adster]

I rememebr a pinned thread from luca about this cant find it now

no first thing ai thought of but its set to 0 as jetje said it has to be a port problem or soemthing

[Adster]

well belive it all not this seemed to have worked a bit better

I made a completely different folder to save all my downloads on when there finished and the speed seems to have inprobed out of side still drops to 0 from tim eto time but much better but the reason I knwo its dropping coz atm Im runnming torrent

[Jibbler]

Can you say Spammer? :spam: I know you collect posts like baseball cards, but could you try the pretty Edit button sometime? :huh:

[Adster]

true the reason I dont use the edit button alot is becaseu the thread doesn&#39;t get bumped for a start also it gets ppls attention more some ppl don&#39;t take notice of the edit after they have read it the first time :huh:

I could speak with Jetje about getting all your threads pinned as stickys. That should keep &#39;em on top. :o :)
