if any of you have read my other threads.. here is another one as a result of previous problems. its a bit like each solution to a problem automatically creates 2 new ones...  ;(

well... i have got my ed2k and kad sorted - hi id and kad running with 1000+ nodes. i have plenty of people uploading with rates of 10k or more. but my download rate is as bad as ever, rarely more than 5 kb  

i have set up my traffic limits etc as discribed in the help section. but the rates are still more than lame...

anyone out there who can help?

Hi eltorten!

Usually it should be sufficient to wait a bit longer and upload. Thanks to the credit system you should advance faster in the other user's queues and receive a higher download speed.

Just to avoid confusion, in this thread, eltorten wrote that the problem was that the plan he had with his ISP only gave him a private IP in their network and not a public one.

i will keep waiting patiently   and maybe... one day... perhaps christmas...? the internet and its offspring will be perfect for everybody  

but seriously. i have literally downloaded only a handfull of kilobytes since i gained hi id a few days ago and i was connected >90% of the time my stats are pityful to look at and even at the 9kb resolution the line indicating my download rates in the download graph barely ever separates from the zero line.

i can deem myself lucky to get the 0,0 kb/s mark in the download window and i burst into tears when it jumps to a breathtaking 0.7 kb/s for several seconds.. :O (there goes the ol' sarcasm again. sorry, but i am really frustrated right now..)

maybe my settings are wrong and tcp is having problems to receive receipts for transferred packages (something i read up on last night). i know, there is a whole section in the wiki about  the connection settings, but maybe i just don't get the theory of it. here is how i configured it (my transfer rates set by my isp are 2mb/s in either direction):

2 MegaBYTE/s or 2MegaBIT/s?

I'm pretty sure you have 2000KBIT, which equals 250KByte and would explain your download  issue. Your upload is simply set too high, please try lowering this value to about 230KB (in case your provider provides you with full speed and not just up-to-16.000KB things like they do in Germany) or even lower.

[eltorten]

i did as you suggested, but that happened was that the upload rate now peaks at 43 kb/s with an average rate at 11kb/s with an overall volume of 1.08 gb over the last 27 hrs... my download rate is still pretty poor 12kb/s max and 92 b/s average with a downloaded volume of 8.61 mb over the same period  

this is what my connection settings look like now. i set them quite low, because my isp hasn't got enough bandwith to supply me with constant up/ download rates. my connection speed probably drops here and there during peak times but should be alright during the night.

i add some images to give you a better idea about whats going..

[eltorten]

these are my stats

[eltorten]

and here my core settings, i changed them a bit according to a post somewhere here in the forum..

So, you really have a symmetrical subscription? If not, try setting the download bandwidth to 50% of what your subscription download speed is and the upload to 25% of your upload speed, of course both in kilobytes per second, so make sure that your download speed is divided by 8 first. (In none of your posts you state exactly what your subscription is)

Also perhaps you want to increase the number of sources per file and the number of connections to 1023. At least make sure that the number of connections is higher then the number of sources per file. A slot allocation of 1 kB/s does not improve upload stability, set that to 3 or 4 kB/s so you have fewer upload slots, each with a bit more stable upload speed.

[eltorten]

yes my connection is symmetrical and roughly 230 kilobyte per second in either direction.

i have changed the settings as you have suggested with the exption that i put the bandwithlimits to 115 KB/s for both, up and download. i had it running like this for a wee while now but i still have virtually no downloads..

trying to connect to a server is quite a task as well now. a lot of servers give me loid before i eventually receive hiid and this only with an error message stating that my ip is part of ipfilter.dat. now i have disabled ip filtering, i have erased the files and i have even re-installed amule but all with no success. i still get the same message. i have opened the ipfilter.dat file and manually searched for my ip but its not in it. so what is going on there? is this part of my download problem? my kad and ed2k do not indicated that anything is wrong though: kad - ok (800+ nodes); ed2k - connected High ID
