Am I Doing Something Wrong With P2P Networks???

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Animes : One Thread

Everyone is saying that Kazaa lite and Imesh is fast but I keep getting break-neck speeds at 3kb when I have cable. Most are thinking that I am choosing non-popular series. NOPE! I tried .hack//sign, .hack//dusk, Kenshin, Love Hina, Chobits, and others. Are you supposed to change the settings to get the fastest speeds possible or something like that? Could anyone tell me the problem of mine. Also, I choose the files with the highest aviablity and bandwidth.

your internet connection is irrelevent when downloading from kazaa
you can only go as fast as the person your uploading from :\

PH33R TH3 P0WAH 0F 56K!!!!

Seriously... yes, be thankful for the good people with 56k that do share despite their lack of bandwidth while you guys with Broadband usualy just tap the upload and/or igrnore everyone on slow connections. If I hurt anyone's feelings I apologise, but I'm one of those poor people that can't get broadband (and no, it's not a money issue, it's just not available). And I keep getting ignored by people od DSL or Cable. Funny tho... I'm good enough for the exact same people to leech off of me.

Excuse the rant and really... stop dissing dialup users that do share.

Look at the number of users the file has and try downloading the anime with the most. An anime could be popular and only one person with a certain version.

I can't get broadband either. I am stuck with a 56k, but I download from imesh like at 6kb/s, which is a pain, but much faster than kazaa, at least for me.

When I get enough money, I will get a satellite hookup. Its like $300 for the equipment I need.

Okay, 2 things: 1: DON'T GET SATELITE!!! ONLY GET IT IF YOU CAN'T GET DSL OR CABLE. IT SUCKS BIG TIME AND COST A LOT! CABLE IS CHEAPER!

2:Is there a way to filter out ppl with low bandwidth so I can get better results on which things will go faster on either Imesh or Kazaa Lite?

Still dissing 56k I see... but let me ask you a question and please answer correctly... Do you share or are you being a leech?

And yes, stay away from the sattelite. It's waaaay too expensive for what it offers (sides RIAA or anyone else will have no problem at all tracking you down). And you're still gonna need dialup.

I share a lot of stuff. All my anime, music and music videos go into my share folder. I am sharing about 100 files currently.
