Title: download speed settings
Post by: nenna on November 15, 2005, 02:52:12 PM

hi there!! I'm a new mac user and I've just download amule...
I know, I might sound silly to you, but I don't know how to set the connection...
I put 1000 and 800 k/sec for download and upload respectively because I have a 1 M ntl connection...but the download is so slow...can someone tell a poor ignorant like me which download and upload limits I have to set in the connection window?
thanks a lot
nenna

Here's the deal: connection speeds are typically specified in kilobits per second while aMule's up- & down limits are specified in kilobytes per second. Since 8 bits = 1 byte, you have to divide the line limits stated by your provider by 8 to get the limits in kilobytes per second.

Note: to make sure that aMule does not clog your line, set your up-limit 3-5k/s lower than your line limit.

What lionel77 surely meant to say is "8 bits = 1 byte".  ;)

And that's what he posted. Your point is?

Kry tries his Jedi mind tricks, but ken, having no mind to trick, is immune.  (Bad Kry!  Your edit privileges will be taken away if you don't behave! ;) )
