Is there any way to get good speeds on DC++ on Rogers? I don't want to switch to Bell as I'm paying only $40 for Rogers Extreme and Bittorrent works fine for me. |

| i use rev connect. it's based on dc++ except it has multiple download threads per item. i can usually max out whatever i'm downloading.
the only thing that sucks is you cannot upload which sooner or later will get you kicked/banned from the hub.

Rogers is using packetshaping on P2P connections. There is nothign you can do to increase speeds. Switch ISPs. |

DC++ is totally different than most P2P, if you'v ever used SoulSeek its the same. DC++ is unlike Limewire, or Bittorrent. with limewire and bittorrent you have multiple connections for that one file. its in fragments to help speed up the download. with DC++ u have 1 connection for each file.
ie. you could have a folder there, with 20 .rars, for each .rar you could have a different connection from someone. if someone drops connection from .rar#5 someone with the same file name and size will connect(if you have auto search for same files) and continue the download. |

| I have problems downloading a 4.15GB .iso. In my incomplete download folder the file has stalled on 3.99GB for the last week or so. I continue to download the file, at speeds of up to 40 kbs but I see no change in the actual downloaded file size.
Has anyone experienced any similar problems with DC++? |

| It's the filesystem of the partition where your incomplete directory resides. FAT32 only supports individual file sizes up to 4GB. If you move that incomplete file to a NTFS partition and update the Queue.xml file manually to reflect the change, it will continue downloading. |

| Well, that sucks. I have, as you correctly pointed out, FAT32 as my file system, on both partitions of my hard drive. Its quite a headache to change either partition to NTFS, especially C:/ partition. Best would be to change both partitions to NTFS? Would you recommend that? I have Partition Magic 8 that I am sure could convert the file system without having to reformat my hard drive and re-install my OS. I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks for the reply. |

If you're on XP or Windows 2000, it is very easy to switch to NTFS. From the command prompt (start -> run: cmd) type: convert c: /fs:ntfs /v.

If it's not on Google, then it doesn't exist.

Outgoing encryption+proxy on some P2P may help but forget DC++ as such solutions destroy the entire base which essentially my understanding is everyone serves as a minihub and you use bigger hubs. Incoming is a must and in this case cannot even be encrypted. I'd try another form of P2P. |
