I read everything why it could be unreachable at the help zone , I turned of my firewall from xp and I have no other firewalls installed, But then i find when You have a router it doesn't let al ports through so I opened the ports , I'm not really handy at with internetstuff Does anyone know If i did the right thing?you can see ithere And so not what can I do 2 make it open the ports? So yes why doesn't it work? I will appreciate your help
Not quite sure, but opening all your ports is SUCH a bad idea. All someone has to do is quick port scan you and BAM.
Edonkey is download program right? If so, get Shareaza. My speed went up to 1.13 mb/s and it usually goes around 100 kb/s
Indeed. Connect to the eDonkey network through Shareaza. Only extreme idiots still use eDonkey or Overnet nowaday, shareaza is so much better. You can also connect to Gnutella2 networks and bittorrent that way.
The client you use has nothing to do with the speed of the download, it has to do with your connection speed, the amount of people sharing, and their upload speeds.
Indeed. Correctly configured, and getting downloads with good availability (for example, you DON't download single mp3's with shareazaa or any other edonkey client for that matter, and you don;t download rare stuff with that either, you've got Soulseek for that) then every download should start between 5 minutes, and here they usually are (with good availability) between 50kb/sec and 650kb/sec. I've already got Chris hooked on the program
and i LOVE it! [/b][/quote] it SUCKS, it downloads sooooooooo slow. I have it on the computer too now, it takes forever to download something. :wth:

It's not only in this topic, but everywhere I look you're talking shit about women. You prolly will quote me now and say 'it was only a joke' well, I'm sick of your 'jokes'.

As for LinkinJunior: You're talking about eXeem right? B) Still very unstable but very promising, I get constant download speeds over 400kb/sec, even with sparsely populated sources.

Once again, the client has nothing to do with the download speeds of the file. It's to do with your connection. The connection of the person/s sharing the file and the amount of sources. Other small factors also take part, but they're not as important as the ones I just listed. P2P is all luck when it comes to downloading. If you wanted constant download speeds, IRC is the place where when you search for a file, you can see the maximum download speed, and determine that even before you decide to join the channel and download the files.
Most people have broadband at the minimum nowadays, 10Mbit lines aren't even all that uncommon anymore. Thus, the point does not lie in the connection the people are on, but how many people are seeding the file that the people want to download. The more seeds, the higher download speeds. Moreso then less seeds but with better connections.
You'd be surprised at the number of people on the internet who have like.. 128k and think that they should be downloading at like... 128Kb/s
