only 2% came down.
How can i get this soft so i can try to see how it is?

If your on a modem once you find and start a D/L make sure you disconnect from all hosts. This way all of your availble bandwidth is going to the D/L.

Yes!

Kill Gnutella...

Don´t support freeloading! :(

re: help

Which client do you use?

Morgwen

Morgwen,

Ok I see your point but if you only have a modem connection you really need to do this. Now let me clarify. Only disconnect from all hosts after a D/L starts. As we all know if your looking for anything other than mp3 it takes a long time just to get a D/L started. For however long it takes before a D/L starts the modem user can stay connected to hosts and share his/her files. Also I did not mention or mean for the modem user to disconnect uploaders.

Why?

Its not necessary, when you use a client with swarmed downloads...

or limit the bandwidth, but never *please* never disconnect from gnet...

When all people disconnect from gnet while downloading, where do you want to download your files from?

Even if you don´t disconnect uploaders... how they can find your files while you are disconneted???

I know its faster when you disconnet...

But Gnutella works only thruth sharing...

Offer your files... limit your bandwidth but offer your files...

Perhaps it is easier to purchase the product instead ;-)

Morgwen,
I believe the biggest problem is with people not sharing any files not people disconnecting from the net.

Again I am speaking about modem users. But what good are they? At best they offer a 33k upload speed and that is assuming a perfect connection. I don't even bother trying to D/L from someone with less than a 100k connection. Now if we were using Gnutella to trade simple txt files well then your statements would be true, but since most of us are trading files that are many Meg or even several Gig in size dial up connections are only good for the person who owns it.

Also you ask me to never disconnect from the net? Now I am willing to bet most users of Gnutella don't leave their comp on 24/7 so how is this any different than a modem user disconnecting when he/she D/L?

One more point, I use Gnotella and even when I am not connected to any hosts (disconnected from the network) I still have people uploading from me. When someone is uploading I am connected to their hosts, according to the stats tab in Gnotella. So can't people still search me? Also by disconnecting from the net and still letting people upload am I not clearing the "que" that is out there for my files? Hell that was two points;)

Hi!

Read this discussion between Moak and me:

Yes you are right!

A modem connetion is to slow for d/l - but if you d/l from five modem user at the same time, its fast again...

Waiting for feedback!

Morgwen

Didn't read yet I'll get back to you on your thread in a bit;) But what client allows you to D/L from multiple hosts at the same time?
