silentgman_135 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi. I have been downloading some things for a while and I had nothing to complain about but then my sister wanted it so I put it on her computer and I found the exact same file that I had that she wanted on isohunt.com and added it to her list. Then I noticed that she was downloading the file a LOT faster than I was, even though she was on a connection half as slow as mine. The number of peers she had downloading/uploading to her was about 25 when I went back to my room and saw I only had 1. What is the deal? Why is she downloading way faster than me? I have 20% done and that took me 4 days to get. She had im guessing 5% after a half hour or so. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5618 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 She probably just got lucky with peers who were downloading/uploading it at that time.Maybe, for some odd reason, she is connectable and you're not?If you're using the latest version, she may be getting fast speeds because she has you a local peer (new local peer discovery function).

Ultima Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Severe lack of information... First link in my signature for some suggestions, and for an idea as to what pieces of information we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentgman_135 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 EVERYTHING is the same though. Version, build, file, pieces, we even go through the same router. The ONLY thing different is that I use a hard-wire and she is wireless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlink Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 This to happen to me my computter is hard wired. The 3 wireless ones i have all down load faster then mine DMZ look it up on google ``DMZ'' is an abbreviation for ``demilitarized zone''. In the context of firewalls, this refers to a part of the network that is neither part of the internal network nor directly part of the Internet. Typically, this is the area between your Internet access router and your bastion host, though it can be between any two policy-enforcing components of your architecture. A DMZ can be created by putting access control lists on your access router. This minimizes the exposure of hosts on your external LAN by allowing only recognized and managed services on those hosts to be accessible by hosts on the Internet. Many commercial firewalls simply make a third interface off of the bastion host and label it the DMZ, the point is that the network is neither ``inside'' nor ``outside''.
