Satan

DC is not supposed to be fast, it download's up to 15 items at once to make the speed. SO don't expect massive speed's from a single file. Unless it has a lot of peers.

Glad it's sorted. I believe this a common router flaw tbh. Mine is the same, sometimes my router seems to get 'mixed up' with it's rules. If I reset to factory and reconfig everything is works again. I have always used netgear so I don't know if it's there thing or not. Sometimes it doesn't seem to apply the rules correctly.

DC used to have 1412 and 1414 set as default. What changed?

I recommend it because it's what I use, your more than welcome to post ur own suggestions. Also, each user is more than capable of trying more than one.

Apex no longer supports it. Use IPGuard instead. Or download and run peerguardian separately.

You didn't find a topic, because there isn't one, this isn't the right place for that question. You need to download a hubsoft. Try YnHub, it's my fave anyway.

Try using a port scanner. Radmin have a good free one. Good way to double check the ports are open. Make sure it is scanning all ports.

Thats the number of free slots a user has.

Odd, how are you port's forwarded? The only time I have experienced such behaviour is when windows is resolving the IP and as you know, unless the IP matchs that in your forwarding rule it wont work.

SDC's or Apex's?

I dont enter anything into the WAN box or into faves, my active works fine in apex.

How do you have two IP's? Do you have 2 separate internet connections?

Not a bug, it's meant to do this. It overlaps on segments when a user is faster. Or, in the scenario where you have no other users to dl from.

In that case, I am not sure you can use DynDNS. Perhaps try to use port triggering to conteract the problem. But your not gunna have an easy time with this one. My advice would be to get a better ISP.

Sorry, i'm clearly missing something, what is wrong?

Well, if you wanna take offence over nothing. Fine, don't expect help in here. Closed

What you are describing is a dynamic IP. When it updates the data stops because your firewall does so. Either: Disable your firewall/port forwarding Use a service like DynDns so as an address is resolved rather than a number.

Thanks Pothead, i'll turn this on, I find such features helpful :)

Edit the DCPlusPlus.xml file manually. Make sure everything is pointing to the correct folders. Failing that, iono.

I think you missed my point friend, what I was getting at, was, work on stopping the program crashing and this wont be a problem. Your Apex shouldn't be crashing as often as it seems to be.

I don't know about this feature, I just feel some nubs would abuse it and spoil it for all :)

Segment sizing will become dynamic in the next SDC release, however, at present, this is not possible.

Weird, I didn't know this was an option, however, my Apex does not keep the history even with that option checked. Is there something else I should check also?

Also, do as zlo says, and check the event viewer (in windows, not apex). Sounds like fault hardware.

Ah ha, NOW your onto something zlo, my friend. I too have experienced this. If you are having the problem with a download q item. Download for a few days in StrongDC (it does not suffer from this oddly) hopefully the file will finish then you can go back to apex. That is what I do anyway.
