 How do I know if I've become a ultrapeer?
I got a bunch of questions, answers to any appreciated.  - When I re-installed gnucleus just now, I noticed that the download numbers (bottom right corner of the window) which used to average 0.05kb/sec when idle, has suddenly shot up to 15kb/sec, similarly, the upload numbers went up to 20Kb/sec.
These are the readings in IDLE mode, nothing is uppin or downing, but the numbers are still up. What happened? Did I become a ultrapeer?  Everything still looks the same. What's happening here?
In one post, someone said that a node doesn't promote to ultrapeer unless there is 512K + upload. I have a cable modem, but I'm nowhere near that speed - and this PC runs win98!
- My other issue is with the stats window. Mine doesn't seem to work at all?!? Almost everything reads "zero". Some IP numbers change on the firstpane, every other pane shows nothing. I ticked ping, pong, query, everything. Still nothing. This has always been like that, even before the re-install.
Other clients have very detailed stats windows, but gnucleus does not show anything. What's up?
- Why do I have to re-install gnucleus so often? ??? Every re-install means that the lists of hosts gets erased, and I have to start from zero again. Does anyone else have this problem?
- When the initial connect happens and it says "undetermined at 0.00kb/sec", the entire computer slows down for upto a minute. Things return to normal when the download / upload gets going. A lot of gnucleus crashes came because of this slowdown phase.
Is there anything I can do to change settings to prevent this slowdown?
Thanks for all replies.  |
