Downloading speeds on Gnotella I'm really bad with computers, and I'm having trouble understanding the different speeds on Gnotella. I have aregular slow 48000 modem. How can I get the fastest download, ie should I download from people that have cable modems or T3 etc..also, the speeds that are listed..do I go for the higher number of Bps or what? I'd appreciate anyone's help on this. |
EXACTLY!!! The faster the speed is, the faster is the download. Well, normally it SHOULD be. But, the speed can be slow though there is a fast speed displayed. A reason for that could be that many people have entered a wrong connection speed into their gnutella program. You just have to search for a fast download... |
One trick that I use when I'm downloading files from unknown users is to stick to those that say they have T1/T3 or faster. I then choose a few files from those particular users, and whichever one downloads the quickest, I keep. The rest I abort, but hold on to just in case. ;o) I've got a slow modem also and just spent all weekend (50+ hours!!) downloading over 600 MB of information I've needed for about 7 years. But it SOOOO worth the time involved! I'd also recommend looking for an inexpensive DSL modem. There are a places where you can get free service, although paying for it may be worth the price. http://forums.gnutelliums.com/redface.gif) It would have taken less than 2 hours to download all of that good stuff! LOL! |
I have a DSL connection and have downloaded about 30 songs thus far using gnotella. The fastest download speed I have noticed so far have been about 10kps. Do any of you ever get nearer 1mps using this? On napster I would often complete a transfer of a 5 minute song in 30 seconds. With gnotella so far it takes an average of 10 minutes. Is there any way of tweaking this that I'm not aware of? thx. |
