Gnutella has grown to 40,000+ in the past 6 months http://www.limewire.com/hostcount.htm . The reason you cant download everything you want is b/c only 30-40% people who are connected to gnutella are accepting incoming connections and sharing files. That means that other 70% are downloading from that 30-40%. Why your download speed is so damn slow. The traffic from other connected hosts (searchs, etc) take up 50% of your bandwidth. Which is annoying but NO ONE can help that at the moment. Gnutella client developers are working on that as we speak. Then people with dsl/cable or higher connections like to set the download speeds to 0.0KB/s or just dont know how to manager their bandwidth with host connections, TTL, download, and upload counts. I'm on a modem connected @ 26,400kbps that is slow as hell. But I still manage to share and download files. The best client is LimeWire. I'm currently using LimeWire 1.4b and I share around ~120 files. I get ~50% download success. My setup is this.....I have MY TTL set to 10 and my MAX TTL 10. I have my HOST CONNECTIONS set to 2. Upload speed set to 3.5KB/s. Max Uploads 1 and Upload Per Person 1. Downloads 2. I've noticed when I get a excellent (1,000+) amount of search results when I'm connected to ~50+ TBs (both/or) 1500+ hosts. Just start LimeWire and come back in ~5 minutes to establish good connections. With the search results, LimeWire has this great feature called GROUPING. When more then one host has the same file (ex: the band - song.mp3). It'll show multiple search results according to that filename. Which means....if you download from that GROUPING (ex: multiple 10), you'll have a greater download succession rate. If you look @ http://www.limewire.com/hostcount.htm. You'll see the peak times for searching are between 8am to midnight during the weekdays and 8am Friday till Sunday midnight weekends. As if you havnt realize you can download LimeWire @ http://www.limewire.com. |
