to nikhil, yes i am finding overnet lite much slower now, i have a 1mb connection and have had speeds of upto 110kb/s now im averaging 30-40 kb/s so im not happy, but i will wait and see as overnet lite has served me well. when musleman first introduced me to O/L i hated it, now thats all i use (and BT) but it might be time to move on...mmm...
Yep, I agree.
When I first started using OL, I was getting a steady 50 - 60 KB/s on popular fies, after some tweaking I got the speeds up to past 100 KB/s, but lately, the speeds have dropped.
I never used to see any speed below 25KB/s, but now I sometimes see 1.5 KB/s.
Biggest problem with OL right now, is that a lot of the shit lately is either corrupted or fake, or just never seems to find that last 1% on a 100% blue barred file.
I think that maybe some of the progs are purposely put up that way by our anti-pirate friends, as it only seems to happen on the really big files (half a gig or more).
Been using some Bit Torrent clients lately, and my speeds are almost always in the 120 - 140 KB/s range, but BT is only effective when getting new/popular files (I don't do movies, but it's good on movies too I hear).
Oh, I also tried Limewire a few days ago. What a joke. I set my up range to 20 KB/s, and to only take seeds from high bandwidth users, and I get 5 KB/s. Sure glad I did not include the dialups.
Funny thing is the little window thingy says "TurboCharged!". What if I was at "Battery Powered Hybred"?
