tommie gorman Posted April 9, 2006 CID Share Posted April 9, 2006 Welcome to the forum The G.F.P. What are your advertised speeds? When you test you might try the 2992 test file. You might also delete cookies and files and offline files in internet options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted April 9, 2006 CID Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hey, G.F.P and welcome to the forum. The test from the European mirrors look like they get you pretty close to your advertised downstream, but we may be able to boost that a bit. I would not use Azureus as a basis for judging your download speed. It is dependent on the upstream of the sources of the files, the network route, and also on how much the program is monitoring your seeds. A lot of file sharing programs will cap your download if you don't seed enough by their standards. Cablenut works by editing registry values, meaning it actually affects the efficiency at which Windows can handle network traffic. All you need to do is go through the Make It Faster... sticky and when you get to the cablenut part, select the file which is closest to your advertised speeds. It is also important to understand that a lot of software running on your PC can affect your download test results. Please shut down firewalls, antivirus, antispyware, browser extensions/toolbars, instant messangers, filesharing applications, and download monitors before testing. Good luck!

Na just kidding, we dont do that here. welcome to the site. just re-read all this and ive a question when im using azureau and no other progs should i shut dow .. my avg virus scanner microsoft antispywear windows firewall (the only firewall i use) is it ok to shut these down when downloading also with axureus does the share ratio make any difference, like will they penalise my d/l speed if my ratio is low? cheers guy and i must say i like your advice as you lot dont get arsey or sarky like peeps on other sites do p.s if you like cars then visit the site im from www.turbo-babes.co.uk (if thats not allowed delete it) the g.f.p Yes the share ratio makes a big difference, I dont care what anyone tells you it does. You can do ok with a bad share ratio and if there are no leechers and a ton of seeders it wont matter. But for the hot new file you will be at the bottom of the ladder in terms of bandwidth. I dont know what the hell arsey or sarky mean but I like it :haha: I live in Texas so I dont speek good anything, English included. I would say it is ok to stop any of the programs you listed while DL but make sure you scan the file before you do ANYTHING with it at all. Some on this site will disagree with me here... but Im used to it my wife does it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
