Pissing me off Ok, I have been using Bearshare for about 2 months now (just the free version). I dont mind sharing what I have (almost 1TB), but I am getting pissed off watching other people download from me and getting a 300K download rate. I have never passed the 10K rate when download. I have confirmed all my settings related to my connection. My slider bar is set to use 100%. My connections is on average 23 out of 26 peers and I have a few leafs connecting as well. I have my advanced set now to 1000 for the hosts, 200 for uploads and 8000 for my downloads. If I run bearshare on my server and direct connnect from my laptop I get huge download rates, so I know my settings are ok. But every download I only max out at 10K??. I wanted to upgrade to the pro version, but why should I pay for something when the free version (in my case) really bites. Yes I understand that the rate depends on my connection and the hosts, but I am attempting to download from hosts with a 1Mb or high connection (of course if I can). Should I just say ***** it and drop my upload rate to like 10K? Joe |
You're one of the lucky ones if you can upload so fast. I'm in the exact same position and don't let it bother me at all. I also see plenty of people who cannot get files from me at more than a few kilobits per second along with the few who can go at high speed. P.S: I wouldn't be surprised if it was your cable provider that was limiting your speeds. Cable companies all over the continent are notorious for their stinginess with bandwidth and contempt of customers. |
