Speeding Up Dl

[BlackcurrantBoozeTube]

Will this work with all versions of k-lite or just the latest?
where is the option to change the port number, I can see an option greyed out but its not 1214. Do I change it anyway?

Thanks

This may be just my crappy computer, but it slows down the download speed for me. I have a cable modem on a HP Pavilion from 1998. I used to be downloading at about 31kb/s now i download at 0.12-2.04kb/s Ill just change it back.

If you've been using Kazaa for a LONG time and sharing the whole time, you may have built up quite a queue of unfinished uploads and downloads.

To make matters worse, if you're not firewalled and/or behind a router/LAN and your ip has been CONSTANT more or less the whole time -- then people who were trying to download from you 6 months ago may STILL be trying... along with everyone else who got in line in the meantime! They may still be trying your ip for files you QUIT sharing 6 months ago.

This is why you can start up Kazaa and INSTANTLY (almost&#33 get your upload slots all filled with people -- they were constantly retrying your ip address for the moment you logged back in.

But here's the catch: change the port Kazaa Lite++ is using from 1214 to something else and they all are blocked and the connections dealt with much quicker than trying to tell each upload requester "go away, I am busy/don't have that file".

Also, port-scanners are LOOKING for kazaa on port 1214 -- they can't scan ALL ports unless they want to scan for kazaa-running computers very slowly. So getting 'hit' by one of these might slow Kazaa down as they may be sending Kazaa Lite++ a garbled packet on port 1214. (pinging it perhaps?)

You can always try right click then "find more sources" That helped me out a lot.

Ok when i changed my port to the designated number..it says there was a virtual error and closed kazaa...but when i opened it back up it kept the higher number that i changed it to...my downloads didnt seem to increase much though...there always some files give me 50Kb/s and some .15 but for a whole file i can get it up t around 300kb/s

That is a very strange port. God knows what it does.
