Hi,
First the question , I am downloading a film and the file type says its a .smi , does anyone know what this format is and how to veiw it ?

The advice - I have had klite for a few months now and have never had a download faster than 1.0 , Then I got overnet p2p program from E Donkey and I was reading the instructions and it described how to configure your firewall for that program and said it would speed up my downloads so I tried it and it worked , so I tried the same method for klite and all my downloads are now in between 5.0 and 30.0 Its great .
This is probably explained somewhere in the forum but I must have missed it.

.smi is a RealMedia format for streaming video

It depends on the stream.

Real Alternative fully support all streams except .smi/.smil, those usually show the first part of a clip.
