I have got a question regarding download speeds. I am not able to download any faster than 30 kb/s when using Phex. When I use another service like Bearshare, I can get download speeds in excess of 500 kb/s. I have my security devices configured the same way and I have Port Forwarding enabled through my router at the listening port listed on the Networks tab of Phex, but I still cannot get any higher download speeds. Any ideas or suggestions?

Do you have any bandwidth limitation configured in the Phex options?

As far as your download sources offer it, speeds above 500kb/s should be no problem.

Could you check the bandwidth option (strg-o -> bandwidth) which connection-speed you configured?

Also a look at download -> number of simultaneous transfers might be worthwhile.

Best wishes,
Bab

I have the connection type set on DSL/Broadband and the number of simultaneous downloads is set at 8.

en for lan sistem

Could you please try setting the simultaneous connections to 27 and the connections per file to 9?
This could increase the speed quite much.

These are what my default settings are at under the download settings tab:

Max download connections global: 27
Max download connections per file: 9
Initial download segment size: 16kb
Target time per segment: 90 seconds
Push timeout: 30

All boxes are checked except Download subscriptions without message

THese are good, so the problem shouldn't come from here.

Could you try searching for something really popular, like "amv .avi" and download one of those?
