Hi all,
I've got a small question regarding downloading speed. I have a cable modem and I'm using Clean KMD 2.4.4, but it was an issue with all versions of Kazaa I've had. I also use kazaa supernodes often, to get the most optimal supernode.
Oftentimes, when I start to download a file it starts to transfer at speeds that are very fast for my standards, like ~50kbps. It transfers at that rate for one or two seconds but then gets bumped down to the average 2-5kbps, from the same person.
My question is, how come the rates slow down so much? Because it starts to download at that rate, does it mean that there the capability to download that fast on my connection, but it simply just doesn't? Or are those fast download rates not real?
What can I do to prevent that and actually download at those initial fast rates?
Thanks!
