188 Users - Download Speed 0.01kb/s

[Freeman™]

hello

i really dont understand.... i found a file from 188 users and started downloading it
the speed is 0.01kb/s
why?
the integrity is "Excellent"

why is it so slow?

oh yes, im using 64kbits xDSL internet connection, and the normal speed should be 10kb/s in Kazaa

If it is, then the people your downloading from most likely dont have anymore download slots open, or got off.

your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon&#39;t be fooled by whatyou see in the search window they are not an indication of who is available for connection so change supernodes to see if you get lucky, also use localized supernodes, also try changing ports, and lower your upload bandwidth,remove the no ip sources from your dat files and see if it helps

It&#39;s most probably because your search found only about one result on the supernode you were on but a lot more on another. So just right click on your K Lite tray icon and jump supernodes and see if you get luckly.

if the source is available the ip of the source is stored on the dat file and it does not matter what supernode you are on

From the FAQ:

What is a Supernode?

Supernodes are an essential part of the network. When being a Supernode, other users in your neighbourhood will automatically upload to your machine a small list of files they are sharing, whenever possible using the same Internet Service Provider or located in the same region as you. When they search they send the search request to you as a Supernode. This request will also be forwarded to other supernodes. The results are then send back to the user. The actual download will be directly from the computer who is sharing the file, not from you. The download goes from them to the person who wants it, peer-to-peer.
Any computer using Kazaa (Lite) can become a Supernode if they have a modern computer and are accessing the Internet with a broadband connection. Being a Supernode does not affect your performance noticeably.
