Thunder In Paradise Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 Well, I have DSL, and usually my speeds are up around 1.2MB/900KB, so I couldn't figure it out. Could it have been just a slow person on the other side? Does having a firewall mess with this program? Taratata, haven't you ever tried Kazaa? If I get good sources, I can get up to around 120-150KB/s.

If I get good sources, I can get up to around 120-150KB/s.True a lot of sources in Kazaa means ungodly speeds. I have a standard cable connection and I get 68KB/s when downloading off internet. Cable specs are 525kbs/200kbs.
taratata Posted January 31, 2004 Posted January 31, 2004 That's right, you can get very high speed on kazaa if you get the right source. But if you don't...That's where bittorrent is good: you're connected to many people at once. Not comparable with edonkey though, where you have to wait for someone to send you the file: there everyone downloads and uploads the same file.Try checking your upload speed (it is linked to your dl speed). And remember: P2P has always a part of hazard (any P2P program).
