I certainly do... but most of the files I want are only shared by one person, and I am governed by thir upload speed, as you are. I seldom find a single host that I can exceed 15KBps from. It might be worth checking what d/l speed you are actually getting at a site like http://www.dslreports.com/stest where you can get this measured. and also try downloading a file from http://magnetmix.com/ and see what speed that gives you. But always remember your speed is dependant on the upload speed of the other host. It is also possible that your isp is keeping p2p use throttled to a degree, and that is something they will not freely admit to.... | Hobo, I think you're suffering from the same problem so many of us do (or did). If I get some good connections from 8+ hosts I get download speeds of 100 to sometimes 150 kb/s (and that's the limit of my DSL).
Give a it a try to some of what I described above. Especially going back to version 4.9.37 (or below) and resetting the modem performed magics for me.  |
