Slow download from filehosts?

Certain file hosts give me incredibly slow download speed with certain files. It's ridiculous and it makes no sense to me. I'm downloading i.e. 4 separate files. One would download at around 10~100 kb/s, while the other easily achieves 1.2 mb/s. Naturally, I don't mean this simultaneously, else it would be a simple traffic deal. But sometimes with filehosts like filesonic, megaupload and fileserve, at any moment, on any certain file, the download speed is ridiculous.
It doesn't matter what time I do this. For one thing, the download could go on being slow for hours. Another download from the same website at the same time goes around 1.0~1.5 mb/s.
I... Can't think of any other details... Hope this explains my issue well enough.

Use a download manager:

It's because filehosters used multiple servers. You can have:



File1.zip

File2.zip

File3.zip



Available through Fileserve, yet they'll be available through three different servers where maybe File1.zip will be fast but File3.zip will crawl at near-dialup speeds. Sometimes these servers will be located in different geographic locations, other times they'll just be slower overall or be under a lot of load thereby diminishing their ability to offer up faster downloads.



In the case that these files are being pulled from the same server -- I'm not sure what the problem would be. In most cases, however, this is why file download speeds vary even when offered through the same service.

speed up your torrents help! BitTorrent is slow?? that's in all probability between the main frequently asked questions i'm getting approximately BitTorrent. regrettably there??s not some type of magic trick that makes your torrents go for the period of the roof. yet you need to take some straightforward steps to optimize your speeds. a million. Cap your upload (maximum severe) shrink your upload speed to approximately eighty p.c. of your optimal upload fee. you could verify your upload speed over right here (never have confidence your isp). as quickly as you comprehend your optimal upload speed, substitute the max upload (to eighty%) speed on your torrent shopper??s possibilities. Don??t get me incorrect, anybody could desire to share as much as a possibility, yet whilst your upload fee reached it??s max, your acquire fee suffers severely. 2. Hack the max TCP connections in case you??re on XP sp2, your TCP connections are limited to a optimal of 10. This heavily hurts your downloading speed by using fact it wont enable you to connect with a severe quantity of ip numbers. it relatively is meant to decelerate viruses by using fact their spreading attitude is to hook up with a severe quantity of ip numbers, even though it additionally cripples your torrent downloads. a dazzling thank you to repair that's to apply bitcomet tcp/ippatch, it lets you set the optimal allowed connections to any variety you opt for. Any variety between 50 and one thousand is nice 3. verify seeds and friends an person-friendly tip, yet o so substantial. constantly seek for torrents with the best seed/peer ratio. The extra seeds (whilst in comparison with friends) the extra effectual (particularly). So 50 seeds and 50 friends is extra effectual than 500 seeds and one thousand friends. So, be selective. 4. substitute the default port. by utilising default, BitTorrent makes use of a port 6881-6999. BitTorrent money owed for most of the finished information superhighway site visitors (a million/3), so isp??s prefer to shrink the relationship presented on the those ports. So, you're able to desire to alter those to a various variety. good clientele allow you to are attempting this, basically opt for something you like. in case you??re at the back of a router, verify you have the ports forwarded or UPnP enabled. 5. Disable homestead windows Firewall It sucks. homestead windows Firewall hates P2P and a lot of times leads an entire life of it??s very own. So disable it and get your self a first rate firewall, Kerio or Zone Alarm to illustrate.
