We all know changing ports sometime helps to increase the d/l sped. This topic has been discussed before...

so has probably most of the subject's on the forum, doesnt mean it should'nt / wont be talked about again

have'nt you asked about sig's and avatar's etc lately....

I too see an temporary increase could it be a backlog of packets which catch up when you reconnect to the new port?

I think that is all thats going on. Its like a resume transfer. Its going back over the incomplete block to see where it needs to start transfering again. In doing so it skews the reported DL rate until the actual transfer starts again.

BTW. I have 3 PCs with 3 different ISP. I've noticed something strange lately. I had all 3 working on a specific DL in this case Corel 11 CD 2 iso. They were all DL'ng from the same user and all were getting a triclke of .5 - .8kbs. So I thought by pausing the other 2 machines it would allow the remaining PC to possibly DL at a faster pace. But to my surprise the DL speed didn't increase one bit. I could actually go back and resume the others without any change what so ever. I checked the IP of the user an it was truely the same person.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
