Download Speeds

[Dark Side]

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.

quite true

wat kind of connection do u have? i have regular comcast cable, and my speeds go up to 300 average on klite, but only on very very popular files

^your sig made me look twice. "Wait a second...my IP is 192.168...." :D

There should be an unwritten (umm...written) rule:

make your username include the speed of your connection.
