katana Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I tried Shareaza, but it slows my computer to a crawl. It also seems to be downloading stuff when I've not even set it to download (as evidenced by watching 'Bytes Received' on the Connection Menu). Not sure quite what its doing.

stumonster Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 "According to the network population stats at slyck, FastTrack (home of Kazaa) is no longer the most populous filesharing network. Top honors now belong to edonkey, a network of German origins. (Most edonkey users connect with emule, a gpl client for Windows)." http://www.slyck.com/ eDonkey eMule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Happy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Takes awhile to establish hub connections because it hooks to several different P2P networks gotta be a bit patient may take a couple hours to start going good. I've hit 700Kb/s. But you do need to run it on a current machine at least a 2.0 Ghz cpu. On a 1Ghz machine it used about 50% cpu power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your speed per file? I average only about 5 kB/s What's your ISP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Happy Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 sometimes as high as 100kb/s per file but not always, seems like the torrents have the best performance consistently 20-30Kb/s. I'm on a true DSL 2.5MB/s that connects at 6.1MB/S , 640KB/s up (I must be pretty close to the switch ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Happy Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 clarify 700 kilo bits per second not KB make sure we are not talking apples and oranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 what speeds are you guys gettin with the P2Ps (bit torrent) @ the moment? I've just been away for 10 days and previous to that I was gettin 100/120k a sec, now I can only get 30/40. Im on the 1mbit service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the speed problems that people have been having are due to MS adding thailands scope to the SP2 rollout ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Happy Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 SP2 does negatively effect P2P performance, theres a hack that fixes the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simey Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I've just changed from kazaa to emule - it's a lot slower to start but after the qeueu wait I get high speeds and I leave the connection (adsl) running overnight to download, then run the stuff the next day. Seems quick enough, although you really need a cd burner to get the best out of it (for the bin and iso files). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFrankie Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 SP2 does negatively effect P2P performance, theres a hack that fixes the problem. you have a link for the patch? just installing SP2 atm so, hopefully it wont get any worse.. I meant trues overall international network performance rather than client performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simey Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 theres a program called daemon tools that you should find usefull don't have the disk space for all of them, and cd-r's are so cheap it's easy to use them as storage and delete off my disk when necessary.
