so sometimes i will download a movie and it will download at 180kb/s but then wen i try to download a ebook it will be at friggin 19kb/s. does anyone know how to keep the download speed at max and prevent it from being slow?
forexample, sometimes i use filserve and movies will download at 176kb/s and then the next time i use it i get 25kb/s. also sometimes my filserve will download normally but my megaupload will go slow. this is sucha hassle
if i'm not mistaken fileserve is normally slow. however, with megaupload the transfer rate should be fine. try downloading around 11pm+ during that time the servers aren't that busy.
so you think slow download time has something to do with filehosting servers and not with my computer right?
yea late in the night is the best time to download. its much much faster than if you try in the day. i download my stuff in the night also
iiqht kool thanx. this whole time i was thinking my computer was going slow and it also had something to do with my internet being slow
yeah it's normal. i recommend internet download manager if you don't have it already. what's your isp anyway?
i agree with Mastahpiece about servers having high traffic volume (dont blame your comp) but I always get top 1.5MB/s on fileserve (premium)... i would also recommend jDownloader
You're on a cable connection which is shared with other subscribers to the isp in your area. Your connection speed will fluctuate depending on how many people are using their internet. This doesn't happen with DSL since each line is dedicated. I don't and wont use any download manager software. If your internet is slow then its slow; if its fast, then its fast. If you're using windows xp then there are some registry tweaks you can do to better your connection/download speed. Other than that, that's it.
