Hi All,

I have a 8MB connection and i am very close to my exchange.

If i select a single file to download the most it`ll come through at is around 200kb to 300kb/sec

If i chose more files, for example if i download 4 files simulataneously, i seem to get a combined rate of upwards of 800kb/sec. For example, 4 files at 225kb/sec each = 900kb/sec

It seems to make no difference if i use DAP or not.

Anyone know why i can`t download 1 single file at around 800kb/sec and why i can acheive speeds of 800kb/sec+ only if i download multiple files?.

This maybe a limitation of the host site or your OS, Try using a DL manager, then you can have multiple connections to DL one file at your max speed.

I`m using DAP (Download accelerator plus) and it seems to do the same. Something won`t let me download 1 file at the full speed.

Even if i disable DAP, it won`t download any faster than around 200-300 kb/sec.

If i download 4 files together, they`ll all come in at arounf 225 - 250 kb/sec giving me my full 8mb combined. :confused:
