I think it would be easier to understand for common users if you put something like: Modem GPRS/3G Satellite Calbe DSL T1 T3 Or like in rmDC++ or similiar, you can choose your speed for exapmle "Down 8M, Up 1 M". It used to be like that, but since cable and DSL (in particular) connections range fro...

I haven't tried segmenting DC myself, but I don't have anything against other people using them. Don't know about the "overhead" thingy (many connections equals lot of overhead), but I would think that would be overshadowed by the fact that many slower sources add up to much more speed overall (usua...

You are also considering users cheaters and lamers by default. Moreover, it's not that hard for the user to determine, they all have a contract with their ISPs. :) What I miss is common sense. 0.005Mib=5,12KiB=40,96Kib. Which ISP offers 40.96KiB upload bandwidth? Is there such an ISP which is 'very...

I've never understood people's fascination with the connection type. It's not used by anything. It's not checked for validity by anything. It's completely pointless. It's not exactly pointless, but it does lack merit since it is only based users own notification. Many users haven't set it right and...

A bit off topic, but....davy wrote:my isp is whining because i upload to much
Weird ISP, are you not paying for a certain up/down speed? Why would they care if you take up all of your (paid) bandwidth 24/7?

Re: Rollback inconsistency
Zone Alarm firewall is also known to sometimes mess up downloads , especially resumed ones.crysla wrote: i have a feeling that rollback inconsistency may be a result of disconnection etc, and thus its not the whole file that is wrong, but only the last few bytes.

It sounds like you both should spend some time going through which services you are running, after that take a look at the other programs you are running, are they all necessary? When my Win 2003 boots up I'm only running 24 processes. Running a lot of programs and/or servers/daemons I might reach ...

It's easier than you think. There's about 20-30 default Windows processes. DC processes number another 3. Of course there is iTunes, which comes with the iPodHelper service, mIrc, Trillian, TorrentStorm (bitorrent) Apache, mySQL, explorer, iExplore, CoolMon, rainlendar, daemon tools, UltraMon, I me...

Ziisas, DPM. You have a whopping 80 processes running and you're complaining about high CPU usage? I don't think I could even find 80 tasks to run on my system... (unless I'd just randomly start up programs unnecessarily) And since DC++ hashing is Low Priority, no surprise it's going to take some t...

Re: Hashing slow down computer too much
It wasn't until i searched the forums for a while i found out that the program was hashing my shares (250GB). I couldn't use my computer in any way while hashing! I couldn't even use winamp! it was reeeaally slow! (i've got an AMD XP 2600+ with 512 MB RAM). I've got a similar setup, with a smaller ...
