And this belongs in "About our website and this Forum" because? <_<
You ever considered 56kers who want to contribute but if they don't limit the uploads their internet connection would be 100% crippled?
Something is better than nothing...
in august i was getting d/ls of 40-200, this month the fastest i got is 30. i am sharing at the maxium, i just feel others should also open it up, not close it. 56k users have no choice and i understand that. im talking about someone who is takinf from me at 45-50 and just returning 1. this is not right. sorry, but i thought the whole purpose was to share.
This should be in Filesharing. ;)

Some people have limits on their upload every month also.I have a 30 gig upload limit.I have hit it in the past.When I use BT I limit myself to the lowest setting in the dsl\Cable category ,this is still 20kbs and four uploaders.If I see that I am not even getting near that much being uploaded I increase it so they can get it.
i see there are reasons for low bandwidth. but it seems like the number of 1ers has drastically risen in the last month. i do not mean to offend anyone, well, i guess i do. the users who are not being fair to the rest of the users. that is my point. thanks to those who respond.
boss you can't set your bandwith to 1 it has to be 24 or power of 2 between 32 and 8192
Netlimiter can set anything to anywhere. It might be one cause. More likely, it's an ISP filter or a crappy source.
oh they are talking about the traffic bandwith daaaaaa , i'm thinking klite :blink:
dude read the faq. there was a twat here last month bitching about people with "1" under their bandwidths. they are not setting it to that according to the faq. that's an estimate based on your bandwidth and speed you got off your last completed download or something like that. it's in the faq check it out.
1 bandwidth may ALSO be the result of people who have uploads set to unlimited in number at once. EACH upload would get only a fraction of 1 kilobit/sec (which is only 1/8th of a KB/sec!)Quote:

There's also the remote possibility of hostile supernodes set up by RIAA/MPAA/BSA which are making it appear lots of people have crappy bandwidth. (the hostile supernodes EXIST, but what they can do is unknown...)
that may not be so far fetched (RIAA).... the speed seemed to drop since they started with the suits. i haven't seen a d/l of more than 800 since..... oh well
Yes, have patience but I understand that u have a fast connection and u want to max it out all the time but don't we all. But just try to have patience.Quote:

There's a setting in KL++ for upload bandwidth limits. Set it to the minimum normally allowed (above not sharing, that is) -- of 24 kilobits/sec (that's 3 KB/sec).Quote:

If that's too much, I think KL++'s configuration tool may let you set it even lower.
If that's still too much in that it causes you to only download at <1 KB/sec, don't share.
Only fools would even suggest using the 'unlimited' upload bandwidth option for anything short of a fiber-based direct OC-2 connection, yet that's exactly what many do in an attempt to give back to the network they're taking from. Only problem with doing so is it causes really slow download speeds (at least when someone's downloading from you as fast as your connection can manage) and even slows down UPLOAD speeds for no net benefit.
If you really AREN'T downloading a lot and not very often, it doesn't really matter if you don't share at all.
But I DON'T want you to do something that wrecks your connection, risk more trouble with the law than you're willing to risk, or (even if it doesn't wreck your connection) to try to upload to 5+ people at a time on dial-up. Because it's nuts.
There's a hack that lets you change it to 1, ask around someone must know it & yes it is better to do 1 than nothing :) (I give much more though :D )
Heh, that hack may even be based on my reg entry changes for upload bandwidth that I posted awhile back.Quote:

This one is for 2 KB/sec (16 kilobits/sec):

SWITECK ! ime coffused,are you saying that if my bandwith is set at unlimited it will slow down my d.l., ive had it set at unlimited for ever,and my d.l was fast,but now they are snale slow,
:lol: the wonder's of modern filesharing :PQuote:

Yes, while you're uploading to fast connections, your connection will be slowed if upload bandwidth is set to "unlimited".Quote:

thanks,switeck! ime on cable,bandwith 256kbs up and 1800kbs down.do i set it at 256,or what.
stiull going
missed that post till now no I manged to get anothe rISP however still a cap but unlimited uploads however I get shaped to 72k if I go over 5 gig for the monthQuote:

Actually, re-run KL++'s configuration tool and set your connection to the fast cablemodem setting that puts upload bandwidth to 28 KB/sec (that's 224 kilobits/sec.)Quote:
