    Download: 292 kbps which is 54% lower than the average for my ISP

    Upload: 239 kbps which is 12% lower than the average for my ISP

    As Zlobomir said this is probably your problem. you should perhaps ask them about it.

    P. S. What's wrong with dchub:// handling?

    did you use 

    [dcurl=dchub://techgeeks.geekgalaxy.com:1411]TechGeeks Online[/dcurl]

    e.g. TechGeeks Online

    When I have ApexDC++ running (Ver 0.3.0) my upload speed is around 32Kb/s overall with 3 slots open, but my download speed is never greater than 32Kb/s. Individual downloads never get over 2 or 3 kb/s each. Also no download ever has more than 1 or 2 segments.
    1.1 megabits = 140.8 kilobytes this suggests that your download speed is running slow. but this could be caused for many different reasons. first of all please check you broadband connection is running well this should do. if evrything is running fine then it could be because you dont have enough people to download of. how many sources do you have and how many are conected at one time? please give the speed for each user so we can say if it is normal behavious or not. Do you have send garbage on incoming connections selected (in advance settings). your isp may be throteling you.

    also when you say

    Another thing is that while ApexDC++ is running the rest of my PC almost grinds to a halt!!
    are you talking about cpu or network connections. with your connection i would say that network connections should be fine. if you are taling cpu or RAM, can you give more info. e.g. what % is being used by apex, how much ram, do any other process look like they are running higher then expected (possibly firewal)

    ok i think that ill do for now :)

    edit: Zlobomir are you gonna beat me too it every time ;). however i dont think it sounds he is choking connection well not from downloading (TimmBurrWolfe how many upload/download slots do you have set). sounds like the oposite. i.e. they do not get the speed they should. unless i have miss read

    I think Zlobomir ment to upgrade it to XP. However i dont think this is a solution (no offence Zlobomir, i use win 2k :)). the best way to get help on this is to do what crise said and try to find ot a way to reproduce this bug. This way crise can recreate the bug using a debug build and get the infomation neccasary to help.

    I really like your ideas Zlobomir. especially the mouse .

    how about an animated paperclip for support staff. Animated to say "i see your trying to write a post". Only joking :)

    lol i was trying to be nice in my "support role".

    However i have now realized that my original response wasn't constructive enough for the community as a whole :rolleyes: lol... therefore ill try again ;

    you are a completely uneducated twat who has no knowledge about the subject you are discussing and this will be recognized by our users as there is an intelligent conversation occurring on this topic (and i reckon even the pro odc people would say that you where a twat). if you spent ten seconds searching this forum you would have learned this fact for your self. as crise said if you wanna use odc piss of and use it (maybe crise didn't say that exactly :)). i would also reccommend trying to find files on Geocities, tripod, or napster as you are obviously a lover of antiquated programs/protocols

    there is already an active topice on this. please search the forums so these opinions can be put in the correct place*

    Most people are still using oDC

    if you are going to make an outlandish, exaggerated, ridiculous statement please back it up with some statistics

    *is it possible for a moderator to merge this with Terminating downloads from people using oDC-based clients

    i like this feature. i think, just to clarify. when:

    • user that only needs 1% of file
    • user has already download some of file from you

    an extra slot is granted so that user can finish that download and no more.

    if that is the feature i think its a very good one. but it should be optional and i am unsure weather it should be on or off by default. My initial feeling is off but i can see a few arguments for on as well

    the new forum looks really nice. the fast reply and quick edit functions are much better. I like the new postion images (eg manager, tester, support) however i think they should be clickable and when you click them you should be taken to the page showing all members of that group. Also i love this little extra "Welcome back; your last visit was: Today, 06:44 PM" if you have a memory like mine it is really helpfull to know how much of a thread you have already read. Oh and the members page and search has had a massive makeover. seems a bit busy but it will grow on me :)

    cheers lee, mabey delete post 3 if possible and this one i guess hell knock you self out and delete yours aswell, actully sod it i think the only one needed is the first one. i think its a good idea to keep the guides topics on topic :) and only the first one is really needed. if you disagree fair enough but post three should defenetly go i think

    it could be changed but it would need a change to the source. e.g. it cant be changed by the user. i also agree that it is not really necessary and would be to much work. however when ADC becomes popular users will already have a self signed certificate so that could be used to do https. but it will be a while and i dont think it should be a priority (personal opinion)

    to copy stuff to a friends comp from the webserver so as to not have to wait

    I think a better more popular :D feature would be to enable your share to be downloadable through the webserver. It should be off by default and ideally you would be able to have this as a per shared folder option.

    why not make it as [bold]Some Text[/bold]

    The problem i can see with this is that if a user dosn't have apex they will the tags which could get anoying. plus * / _ are the old school way of doing this formating (word perferct i think) so it is possibly more familure

    edit and would probably make more sense as these are the bbcodes
