68335 2002-08-05 09:48:00 I have installed kazaa lite on my computer and also on a friend's computer. It works OK on his computer. He is getting download speeds ten times faster than what I am getting. Mostly I am getting less than 0.20Kb/s. I suspect that people have been hacking into my computer. Would that somehow be the reason for the slow speeds? I am very disappointed. stpnc (1142)
68336 2002-08-05 09:52:00 What sort of internet connection do you have?
Did you do the comparisons at the same time?
Was the rest of the internet slow?

68337 2002-08-05 09:58:00 JM - I have a 56 k modem. dialup. I did the comparisons at the same time. The rest of the internet was OK. I have actually tried to use kazaa lite about 30 times and I always have the problem. stpnc (1142)
68338 2002-08-05 10:22:00 Do you have different ISP's?
Some ISP's "manage" P2P connections restricting them according to network conditions at the time.
Jetstart in particular attracts heavy restrictions (or so I'm led to believe)

68339 2002-08-05 12:38:00 Were you downloading the same file? from the same user?
There is this one user I was downloading many music files from, I was getting great speed of him too.
When I try to download a TV Ep of some series I usually get horrible speeds.

Depends on what user on kazza your getting it from
(might be wrong in my understanding on how p2p works....so if i'm wrong someone correct me lol)

I've got Jetstart, normally I get speeds I expect to get off p2p ~1.50kb/s - 6.00kb/s
But at times it goes into the 0.02 range....also alot of the time it starts of at a good speeds then slows down, until it times out

68342 2002-08-06 08:43:00 Roofus - Thanks alot. I am with e3, so it looks as though you've hit on the answer. - stpncn stpnc (1142)
68343 2002-08-06 10:32:00 I am with Xtra (dial-up + 2 lines)

I just load up Kazaa with what I want, and let it do its thing. If I get bugger all downloads a day, cool - If I get heaps, even better.

Welcome to the club. I'm also with E3 and my downloads are pathetic.

What makes me mad though, is that the uploads are 10 times faster for some reason. Grrrrrrrrr! :-(
