Can't get any downloads to work I just got a broadband connection lately and downloaded a few Gnutella clients. It seems that 9.5 out of 10 download attempts always fail. The one and only file I'm intrested in downloading is a 699MB DivX and I've found one filename that seems to be the best quality and authentic. If I'm incredibly lucky I can actually get a connection but usually it will suddenly get dropped. For the hosts that I have managed to connect to, the download speed is unexceptably slow. 2-4 Days for a download isn't a good idea because it will probably be disconnected before it finishes. The download speed sticks around 0.3k to 2k(Sometimes it will spike to 6k and twice I've seen it spike to 20k). I believe that cable modems are know for being fast, not downloading as slow as my old dialup. Also, any idea why success in searching seems to vary between Gtk-Gnutella and QTella(Linux clients)? |
The problem is, that there are not many people out there who let other download. Especially if you wanna download big and new movies. There are to many people who want to download it but not enough who are willing to let other download. Thats the problem, greed. Everyone only wants to take but not give. Gnutella will die if we dont change. |
