Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed.

Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post.

Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Slow Download Speed even with cable I am connected with RoadRunner which from what i have heard is supposed to be much faster than 56k. But when it comes to downloading, it isnt very fast. Everyone else i know who has RR has a download speed of average around 30. Mine is around 5. It is ticking me off really bad. It works no faster than when i had 56k. Can anyone give me advice?  |

 Re: Slow Download Speed even with cable Quote:
You say that your friends have an average download speed of 300Kbit/s that cannot simply be the case since most people on Gnutella does not have that amount of bandwidth available when lots of people are downloading from them. I would estimate that an average speed of 150Kbit/s is a more true figure. I have a 8Mbit/s VDSL connection and I get at best 770Kbit/s connections. How fast you can download from someone is determined by alot of factors. For instance: The most obvious one how fast connection the person has that you are downloading from. If that is a modem user then you will at best reach around 33Kbit/s from that user. How many Upload slots that person have set in his/hers preferences. The more upload slots that person has and the more files(especially popular ones) that person is sharing the more people will be able to upload from that host at the same time and hence each user downloading from that host will get a very limited bandwidth. Certain Highspeed users worries that they might get caught when sharing to much if they do it from their workplace or schoolnetwork therefore they have set the bandwidth distibuted/dedicated to Gnutella to a very low value maybe as low as 1% meaning around 100Kbit/s for one user that are downloading from a 10Mbit/s connection. The number of hops away from you on the Internet also makes a difference. Generally the more closer to you geographically that a user is the better download speeds you will be getting from that host. To really check if something else might be causing you the slow download speeds do this: Search for Avril Lavigne-Im With You and select the 192Kbit/s bitrate option among the files in the search result because it will have the most hosts to download from. It is a song that is popular and available from multiple hosts and hence you have a chance to see your potential. I would be surprised if you get any lower then 300Kbit/s. A high speed connection such as yours and mine will show its true power when performing multiple downloads from multiple hosts. I was once able to download 8 files at the same time each with an average bandwidth of about 300Kbit/s. That is a record for me. The maximum speed that I have been able to reach from asingle host is 770Kbit/s. In order for you to reach your absolute maximum potential when downloading from someone the following conditions have to exist: The user that you are downloading from is maximum 2 hops away on the Internet. It is true T-3 user meaning it has 43Mbit/s available as bandwidth. It only shares maximum 10 files. It has maximum 10 upload slots available. And has allowed for 100% of its bandwidth for use on Gnutella. You will then at best get 4.3Mbit/s download speed( if you where lucky to have such a fast connection in your upstream not likely since you are cable user) from that host. And that is really fast. However such lucky and good conditions hardly exists in the real world on Gnutella.
