Why ?
« on: February 25, 2007, 05:00:44 pm »
Why does it take so long to download video files off of WinMX ? Sometimes it takes forever to download videos . And there are some video files that do not download at all why ? Is there a faster way to download these files ?

There is something called "convoy theory" Brian, it goes something like this , you can only go as fast as the top speed of the slowest ship, basically unless your getting a file from multiple sources, the speed issue is down to you and the person having it, its a direct link between you both only.

Some folks will claim a torrent is faster but to be honest that not my experience, a multiple upload file on winmx will always beat a torrent file for speed.

Try to look for file versions that are ones that have many sources or join a video room where many folks are likely to have the same file you want.

I will try that . I will try to fine a chat room with the same file . If I can not find the same file than I guess I will not download the file or I could just keep looking .

I am currently uploading a Wiggles video.    Not many people have it and my upload is restricted to 12 ks.   If you picked this to upload then it would be a long haul, but I have completed it for lots of peeps.   If they continue to share it then, as Ghostship says, you could pick up from multiple sources, and get it a lot quicker.   You will find the more popular videos will be quicker with lots of sources and the rarer stuff slower.
