Downloading Problems

[caleb7985]

<_< None of my downloads ever go above 1kb/sec, no matter how many users I am downloading from. I am on DSL, so it is not because I have a slow connection. What could be causing it to go this slow?

[Sparkle1984]

Things to check:

1) Is your firewall configured correctly?
2) Do you think your ISP could be trying to block p2p filesharing?

[caleb7985]

I&#39;m using hopster to get by the university network firewall and I don&#39;t have a personal one enabled. I don&#39;t know anything about the ISP

[Sparkle1984]

In that case, your university is actually your ISP. I would imagine they are blocking p2p on purpose because they think it will slow down their network.
I think it has been discussed before, similar problems to this. i don&#39;t know much about this problem, so I think it will help if you try and read some older messages in this forum and see if you can get it to work.

It looks like i&#39;m the only k-lite technical support person left online now, it seems like most other people (such as Musleman) stopped replying so much ever since sharman started its crackdown against hosters of k-lite.

You could try some alternate port settings in your firewall options in k-lite - let us know how it goes :D

Ok here is you problem, i take it you downloaded the FREE version of hopster wich only gives you a 1k download speed (like a trial) when you prurchase*** (lol) the full version you will be able to reach speeds up to 50k/s. Happy crack hunting...oops i mean buying. :)

[cosmic doobie]

YIP&#33;&#33; Sounds like you are knackered friend, move to a better University or better still study more, after all that&#39;s what the tax payer pays for :lol:

[caleb7985]

so where can I purchase*** the full version?

[~FunK_mOb~]

so where can I purchase*** the full version?

I&#39;m lost here :blink:
Full version of what?K-lite?

If so,you should know k-lite is totally free and they&#39;re just pulling your leg. :D

And about your download speed:try jumping supernodes and find as many sources as you can find.That&#39;s all I can say about it to help you.
I&#39;m on dsl myself,and to be honest I almost never have slow speeds B)
Maybe I&#39;m just lucky,I don&#39;t know :lol:

Hope I helped you out a little bit?

;)

[caleb7985]

How exactly do I "jump supernodes"?

[~FunK_mOb~]

in k-lite go to &#39;file&#39;>&#39;jump supernode&#39; or go to tools and open &#39;KaZuperNodes&#39;.

in &#39;KaZuperNodes&#39; you will get a whole list,check their status,then right click>delete non-supernodes,choose a supernode located closest to your region.
If you found one you like double click it,then it will apear on the right bottom-screen>connect to new supernode.Done&#33;

If your still not getting the speeds you want try it again with another supernode.

[caleb7985]

My k-lite version is 2.0.2 Neither of those options are available

[~FunK_mOb~]

Then it might be best if you upgrade your k-lite version to the 2.4.3 version
You can click my sig for some links or look at this topic (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=86297) for even more links to download from.

[caleb7985]

okay..I have 2.4.3 now, but Hopster isn&#39;t staying connected long enough for k-lite to connect anymore. What could be causeing that?

[~FunK_mOb~]

Sorry,can&#39;t help you with that.
Never used hopster before so I really don&#39;t know. :(
Hope someone drops in soon to help you out with that.

The trial version of hopster will only give you 2 kB.

[caleb7985]

are there any other ways to get around school firewalls? Anything that you could help me with?

[-Genesis-]

There are ways to make your hopster the FULL version.....im not sure if i can say.

Keyword:
CRACK

Thats all im saying (sorrys mod&#39;s if im not allowed to say that)

[kalashnikov0_1]

try using http tunnel registered versions give higher download speed.try changing ports if that helps some isps keep huting and playing with your open ports such as mine isp.that might help.

[caleb7985]

I&#39;m not having any luck with the full version of hopster

[caleb7985]

what server name and port do I use for configuring HTTP tunnel?

[caleb7985]

ignore that last post, I&#39;m not using a proxy. where can I get a product key?
