Optusnet Users

Im from melbourne and im just curious as to why we don't get very high download speeds from kazaa. My cousin is with telstra and doesn't seem to have any problems with downloading off here. I was told that optus in fact throttle the ports to limit us to certain speeds, i upload higher than down load ffs. Also i was told that there is a way of getting around port numbers and some program that allows you to get around the port numbers or some settings which will enable full download speed. If someone can help me out i would appreciate it even other good d/l sites where optus users get great speeds please let me know im at [email protected]. Thanks

If you are using a router then you may be referring to KaNAT, although you will still need to setup port fowarding at your router, also I imagine this should be moved as well...

moved? to where and no i dont think i have a router my pc is networked thats all i believe

first of all :

your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon't be fooled by whatyou see in the search window they are not an indication of who is available for connection so change supernodes to see if you get lucky, also use localized supernodes, also try changing ports, and lower your upload bandwidth,remove the no ip sources from your dat files and see if it helps , and if you have a router you need to getkanat


second how are you networked??

you can't compare your self to your cousin because everything is different,

you queued is different, your sn are different, etc.

do u have msn muscleman cause i understand sort of what your saying and really appreciate it but im still a bit lost but i think im on the track here, if i can talk to u a bit more i think it will be easier for me. Thanks mate

im networked via 2 network cards, an on board one in my room and the main computer in the study is connected to modem

well i'm not too good but then don't you have a router??

nah mate i dont think i do how do i know if i do, i have an asus p4p800 delux mobo with an onboard ethernet card and i installed another network card to the main computer in the other room, i dont see that i have a router

well either your pc is communicating with a router or the other pc, i mean it has to get on the net some how, lol

why don't you just ask your network admin :lol:

i downloaded that k nat thing dude but im not sure about this router thing, its via 2 ethernet cards and cat 5 cable thats all and i ran the netork wizard and thats how i linked the 2 up how does that involve a router im not sure?. Thanks for ur help anyway dude

np boss switech knows more about that part of it then i do, if you be patient when he comes back i'm sure he can give you alot more info. :lol:

right now i like to run a test:

please do a test,search for van halen's right now and wait untill you get 30 or more sources and then pick for download and tell me what you get make sure your traffic is paused or clean

k i had 43 users come up, and that was the only thing i had d/ling so i clicked on it and when it started i looked for more sources and could only d/l off 3 users altogether at 35 kbs

well 35 is not bad but it should be more, it might be your network or supernode, if you are behind a router then that could be it

you have to help me out bruva, lol how do i change the supernode thing

file>jump supernode

wat does that do and how many times should i jump?

that helps you find more sources, and a few times, but first we need to find out how you are networked

do u have msn messenger

lol no i don't but if you are looking or more info checkout my forum, go here, you need to register real quick but there is alot of info there with visuals

where and what do u want me to post dude.mmm i see a lot of rooms but i have no idea where u want me to go

lol well go to fasttrack then for klite 2.6 go to the 2.6 section, for klr got to the klr section and so forth and so on :lol:

dude im not connected through router, casue the other computer has to be on in order for me to get internet

so then the main computers firewall might be holdong you back

no firewalls on dude sorry

ok well you got 2pcs on the same line that is going to make your speeds lower
