Q About Multiple Downloads

[dannymccann88]

If i have more than one download running, i get average speeds of 5k each, cept for one that is around 20k. when i stop the 5k/s downloads (all of them) the 20k/s automatically zooms up to 65k/s. this isnt because i am using up all of my bandwith with the others cos i only ever have 3 things going at once so it would = about 35-40k/s (with my limit as 65).

any ideas?

thanks

all your downloads can not go the fastest speed possible, they have to share your download speed. The more downloads you got going the more it will slow down. You have to share it with everything you download.

this is perfectly normal on the 'fast track' network
