To anyone who's been using Shareaza for a while, I have some questions.
1) have you found any way to limit upload bandwidth? no matter what I set the number at in the settings dialog, I get the same amount. I was originally going to set it at about 10KB/s, due to my next question, but the speed kept at upwards of 30KB/s (and yes, I mean KB, not Kb).
2) does it slow down your connection too? When I have the program open, I cannot do anything else on the internet, lest I endure a sub 56K modem-like experience. It's terrible. This is despite the fact that I have yet to have my total download badwidth load get higher than 15KB/s.
3) so far I have been very happy with the program, but I am not happy with the stability of its connections. I don't see how a filesharing network can persist when the best you can do as far as connections go is to have tiny bursts of 3 seconds at >1KB/s for one user. As an uploader, I'd much rather have three or four people connected to me at 4 or 3KB/s for several minutes than have upwards of 40 people connecting to me at .3KB/s. It makes it impossible for large, 300MB+ files to get downloaded.
With that said, I have a request. Would someone who has a lot of X Files episodes on their PC mind giving me my one favorite episode of all time? It's titeled "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" from Season 3. The one with Peter Boyle.
Thanks for any help (or episode) I can get
ps-my second and third favorite eps are "Redrum" and "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas," respectively. I don't need those, though. They're on my Tivo. I've had X Files on my season pass for a year and my favorite episode
never gets aired, despite several emails to SciFi, TNT, and whoever else airs it. Has anyone else noticed how syndication means that they'll take a show with several hundred episodes and replay the same 50 over and over? Grr.
