Yes, I saw that after I sent the reply. I didn't notice because it referred to shareaza.com and not shareaza 4.

long time i'm not visit this forum, today i want to make correction to my earlier post, shareaza is good p2p, as good as limewire, i'm using both software in my compter, along with µTorrent, but i'm not using all of them in the same time, before i'm struggle to make a good configuration to make shareaza download faster, i'm never give up, i read all post from this forum and sourceforge forum, but my dwload still slow, i configure all hardware n sfware (router, firewall, shareaza setting) but it doesnt help, but i'm not aware that a lot of my source from edonkey (slower network despite its have many source), for those who new with shareaza, if u already configure shareaza, router or firewall very well, and still has slow download be patience n wait, because when we use shareaza its has 3 network, shareaza network n limewire network is fast, n edonkey network is slow, so u should observe what network ur file dwload from, n other like ur ISP limit bandwidth etc...u can check it here

ok guys...thanks for all help before : D

my friend he4re is the botom of line of all of this :

1. gnutella has less users than edonkey so gnutella is faster
2. edonkey has much more users than ne network so it has almost everything but... its slower
3. lime wire , bear share , cabos..... etc use just gnutella network so u can download very fast from them (notice that lime wire use bittorrent protocol also and this 1 is the fastest child of all).
4. sheraza use both gnutella and edonkey so if u have user in queue belongs to gnutella u will notice that u download faster from him and the opposite for edonkey .
5. the last thing try to rise your upload ratio a little bit it will help believe me

thank u my friend hope u will find your answer .

How do you raise your upload ratio? Is there a webpage that gives the 101 on using this technology? I'm stumbling around in the dark here....,

Thanks much!!

Miss M

To raise upload ratios just keep the software running permanently.
This applies to all of the different kinds of sharing software.
