I was just thinking, kazaa allows you to download from several people at once, but i thought you can only download from 3 at a time, yet it manages to download from 5 or more at a time :confused:

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseThere's no real limit on the number of simultaneous downloads you can have going at once. However, there was a bug in IE that limited it to 2 or 3. But that's only in IE. Todd Smith

I downloaded kazaa 2.0, it still sucks. It has severe resource leak problems.

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseprecisely. there are things you can do though - for one thing, take anything you have downloaded and put them in a different folder - no point having your bandwidth chewed by people downloading from you. Also, make sure to exit from Kazaa when you aren't actively downloading - that way others can't find you. ;)

It is a definite no-no to run BITMAP as a user command. Your nose will grow, your lawn will die, your hair will fall out, and your first-born will marry an aardvark. Shame on you! -

There is a registry setting that will change this, you can find it on http://www.speedguide.net/[^] in the Win2K/XP Tweaks section.

If the max connection is per server, how can you tweak that setting on the client? :confused: /M
