Default dissapointment

I heard all this hype about Xolox and how it's so much better for those with a broadband connection....well I have a cable connection and I have yet to see my download speed exceed
9 kb/s....and it's not like I'm downloading a lot of files at once...just one at a time...and as far as I can tell, no one is I'm not uploading to anyone.......WHAT GIVES?

Default percentages

Why is it that when I dl a big file (and I have been trying one 500something meg file for a week now) the percent done keeps changing...I was so happy when it said 98% complete (at 1.2 kb/s I might add) then I came back half an hour later and it said 68% complete...

HOW DID IT GO DOWN.....did the program decide to take some of that file away just for fun...or just to make me mad....

If you are downloading from just one source then you are bound by their upload speed. You'll need to start 20-odd downloads before your cable modem's download speed will tap out. Now it is possible that you will connect with a high speed server and start getting 40-50k/s but more often that not you get 10-15k/s.

When you do a search try downloading something that has a higher score. If you can start downloading from two or three active sources then you might start getting your downloads up to a respectable number.

Personally I like to chalk up about 20 downloads and let Xolox figure out what do with them. Somestimes you get the stuff you are only mildly interested in before you get to the stuff you really want but... c'est la vie.

After all, you are depending on other people.

Angry 99%...and then.....60%?

I also experience very often the problem that my download of about 700 Mb is at 99% and then it goes to about 60%. Is there not a way to resolve this?

When it does work ok, I must say it really is the fastest sharing program I have ever used. I very often get speeds of about 50 K/s. That's close to my max. bandwith.
