Please try to keep a nice tone in these forums.

Your post could easily be seen as quite insulting.

Sorry if my tone is not "nice". My post should easily be seen as quite criticizing, not insulting. Criticizm is healty and should help develppers. Users are THE BEST testers they have.

Criticism is healthy, if it is constructive.

Means: How can we do it better? (And do it in a way which is actually doable... we don't have 20 hired programmers, and all our programmers work in their free time because it's fun to write code, so, if you have some ideas which need some more work, it would be nice if you had some ideas where to get additional developers from).

And besides that: Phex can't simply go "back to the drawing board". It is in already active developement for years, and changing the basic layout of the app is quite some task.

And if it interests you what's planned for the next few months, just have a look at the Development Roadmap.

Hey arne, do not get me wrong. First: I LIKE PHEX, I have nothing but GREAT respect for your hard work. I wish I know how to do coding and all the other stuff. I can help you only with testing, ideas and telling you what I thing is wrong, what I thing need to be changed in "user" point of view. So, FILTERS is one of function, witch need to be changed, then SPEED. My download capacity is about 6Mbps, upload about 370Kbps. Downloading 650Mb file with speed of 15Kbps is nonsense, nobody will do it. So answering your question: "How can we do it better ?"....I'm not sure, but I know what to do it better. Now I'll go visit Development Roadmap. Again thanx for Phex.

If you have enough CPU power, number 6 will give you the biggest boost on downloads.

I'm just doing a test which shows, that it is indeed possible to download one file from 50 (with 10 waiting) sources using less than 10% CPU (mean on athlonxp 64, ~2,44Ghz).

I get 320 kB/s on it (that's what my connection can pull).

That's with the setting: Maximum download connections: 99
Maximum connections per file: 66
