Segmented Downloading

7 posts in this topic

Hi!

Why is the option "max numers of segments" -> "1 segment" always disabled? It would be very nice to disable segmented download for some files...

Is this possible?

Thanks, tumbili

but if only one user is online the non-segmented way is working good :)

IMHO he means that the file info is hashed for segment downloading and can be used only so. And if there is only one source, what you gain if you turn off the segment downloading?

There was a previous topic in the bugs forum. Basically...what I think he wants (and also me) is that when only 1 source is available there should be normal fast download instead of segemented download. Reasons: lower speed, bigger download time, possibility to lose the slot between recconect..all this if you use segmented download. I don't understand why this has become a problem in ApexDcc while in PeerWeb it was all fine ... :) Of course...if more sources are available...automatically switch to multi-source segmented downloading.

Like stated in the other topic, you do not lose your slot. Why would it be slower download speed off one user?
