    Weeell what you did was shut down downloading from multiple users for the same file. What you additionally need to do is to restrict the number of segments created for each file download (multisource and segmented downloading go hand in hand but they are separate functions). This is found in Settings/Queue - "Manual Settings of number of Segments" (min = 2). There is the option (not tested by me) to go down to 1 segment downloading, but then you have to manually specify that for each file (right click on file) in your download queue and select "Max number of segments" (=1).

    If true, then I suggest that system be improved to at least allow a user to set number of segments to 1 in the options menu. I can't think of a reason to be able to turn off multi-sourcing but still have the file download segmented, though, if it's by design.

    Hey, I'm new to Apex. I disabled segmented downloading in the options (Queue -> Segment Downloading -> Enable multi-source: Disabled). However, when I add a search result with more than one user to my download queue, it (sometimes - about half the time in brief testing) downloads in segments. This significantly hurts download performance on a university network.
