Title: Downloading atleast 3x the filesize
Post by: Janni on August 13, 2004, 11:19:01 PM

Dear readers,

When a file is complete, the transfered file size if often 3x or more the completed file size. Is that normal?

I am using Fedora Core 2 and have 384MB ram and using a shared 4Mbit connection with 140 other people.

In the prefs. have I only changed the bandwidth and download path from the default settings.

At the moment am I sharing 1kb/s in upload to see if that helps, but I don't think it does.

I have done that now :)

If you look at file 2,8,12 they will be far over 3x the file size. Could it have something to do with the network I am on? E.g. the firewall that drops some of my packes?

there are some fake mldonkey clients around which send u corrupted parts..

copy and save it as i.e mld ->

#!/bin/bash

# Create special MLDONKEY chain
iptables -t filter -N MLDONKEY
iptables -t filter -F MLDONKEY

# Create the logdrop chain to log & drop a packet
iptables -t filter -N MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -F MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -A MLDONKEY_LOGDROP -j LOG --log-prefix "MLDONKEY"
iptables -t filter -A MLDONKEY_LOGDROP -j DROP

# Jump to the special MLD chain at the end of the INPUT chain (commented out)
#iptables -t nat -A INPUT -j MLDONKEY

# List of ip ranges to ban
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.113.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.115.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.117.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.118.0.0/15 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 65.19.175.0/24 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 66.54.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 66.117.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 207.234.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP

chmod the mld file to 755 and do as root:

./mld

will save u from the faked mldonkey clients

Lots of love,
