I remember downloading a file at 10kbs once, is their any reason for this or just lucky? Normaly its about 4kbs sometimes 5-6 so im at my max

It was probably because your modem support V.92, meaning it will compress files that can be, to make them smaller. This will falsely report your speed though.

For example, download this bigass bitmap file, even though it's over 1500KB, it'll download fast because of V.92. Just forget about what's in the image, just download it.

It could be GZip also but you don't need to worry about that.

It&#39;s worth noting that on adsl you won&#39;t see any increased speed though (or is it?)

As a new KL user I share all my programs but seem to be on "More Sources needed" or "remotly quede" all the time whilsts my uploads are continually being utilised without a break. Can someone be kind enough to help with suggestions on how I can actually get a connection and download something without being on hold continually. many thanks

i tried it and it made no difference&#33;&#33;&#33; still going about 20kbs...any other ways of speeding it up?

people remember:



your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon&#39;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


now other then finding more sources for your file there realy is no way to speed up your download.

also make sure you are not downloading too many files at once and make sure your download/upload is the configed correctly

I have a problem with downloading high speed files, I have high speed cable with a router. when I download anything above 700-800 bandwidth the files corrupt, I get a couple notes of a song and then it sounds like a high screeching noise.
Any causes or fixes for this??

Thanx.

Thanx Muscleman, I got the new KLT it&#39;s got so many improvements&#33; Just one question, the MP3 blocker only looks at already downloaded files? I&#39;m still wondering if I can download higher speed files?

well first remember that as far as download speeds go:

your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon&#39;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 get kanat.

the mp3shied from what i understand is going to scan your already downloaded files and the ones being download, but don&#39;t hold me to that i could be wrong.

for more info on that just go to the web of klt k++ and hit the link for mp3shield on that page, it will take you to thier site and you can find out more about it
