Speed vs Connectivity

[Insaniac]

Everyone on this forum as far as ive seen complains about speed... i wish that was my problem... i cant even get connected without disconnecting every 5 minutes... although when i am connected my speeds run perfectly...

im pretty sure sentech's site mentions "NO DOWNTIME" well ive been down more then ive been up.... Breach of contract perhaps?

 

[TrXtR]

The contract doesnt say anything like that ...
Actually ... it does say something about 3(?) months of downtime...
But there is no garuntee anywhere about that.

You have a antenna ? what your signal strength and noise,
and have you contacted tech support ?

 

[ryanrich1]

well i'm having no problems connecting, connect in the morning and it stays up all day till i shutdown... my signal strength is 9%...

 

[TrXtR]

you shut down ?

Outa interist ... people nagging about slow eMule downloads.
If youre connected to razorback (need highid)
And you stay atleast connected for a day or longer
then you start downloading at 8kb/s. But that requires downloading from more than 5 sources at the same time, since all the other people on eMule either limit speeds, or they have 56k's

 

[Insaniac]

signal is 21% (full 4 bars on modem) (5 bars on software)
RSCP = -86
ISCP= -96

No antenna although i do have my old megawan antenna which i might connect, but i heard it might be static now which will blow the mywireless modem?

 

[TrXtR]

From my understandig the megawan antenna cannot reach the 2.whatever ghz zone. So that's a nogo. Your connection is same level as mine interisting enough. I geuss you should stop playing with your HERF gun while browsing the internet

hehe
I have absolutely no idea what your connections problem is
Maybe I should go work for tech support.
Is the wind blowing there ?

About emule...

I connect to Razorback/Proben usually. Not that it matters.

I have a high ID.

Problem is, I use emule only for stuff I cant find elsewhere and as such will accept the very low speeds. I can vouch for any new user enquiring about emule that it does work (depending on sources).

I do seem to upload more than download (so I now throttle uploads) and have never seen more than 7KB/sec (which is fine with me)

Also, I have noticed that if you increase your upload BW then it creates new upload slots and provides each one about a 1.5-2KB/sec share. So.. you can always get only up to 3K/sec from one source. So check the sources you are downloading from first before even thinking about the speed (under 'Sources' column, number in brackets)

Seriously though. With emule connectivity (in a sense..) is more important than speed. If you want speed, the best way to go is bittorrent. I have not seen any good speeds out of IRC/DCC or Kazaa/emule but bittorrent often goes above 13K/sec (if running one file only). <128k package>

emule sux, i use Kazaa, but i have a sick version, which makes me a MASTER user, everything i download i get from like 20 users at like 20kb/s and everything is 100% perfect, never anything wrong with the files...
