File transfer system has been improved.

Important: With the exception of mega-corporation servers,  it is no longer possible to exceed the target bandwidth. If you upload / download from a target, you will only be able to use as much bandwidth as available on the target. Viruses may affect the available bandwidth!

So no more abusing newbie players by inserting a virus fast, you can do it but you have to wait at their connection speed  :5:

- downloads / uploads no longer adjust the bandwidth automatically, you will have to do it manually from "Manage transfers"
- you will notice a new link in the left menu, "Manage transfers"
- you have 5 priority levels, each designates a % of the available bandwidth
- priority ONE will allocate all bandwidth for the transfer. It will NOT take bandwidth from other transfers, so if you are already at 100% bandwidth utilization, then set other transfers to priority FIVE.
- timers are not reset, so you can switch priorities and not lose the downloaded time you already spent.
- to PAUSE a download / upload, just set it to priority FIVE
- to RESUME a transfer, set priority ONE or one of the others up to the band utilization

Important: If for some reason your bandwidth does not increase when setting the priority in the case when the target is another player, check his connection, maybe he doesn't have enough bandwidth to support your download / upload.
This INCLUDES if he is downloading / uploading something or having viruses installed!

Could you add a function that allows to share the bandwidth evenly?

You can do it like this:

- Set all files at Priority FIVE.

- Set first file at priority FOUR.
- Set next file at priority THREE.
- Set next file at priority TWO.
- Set next file at priority ONE.

it doesnt work  :2:

argh, I just tried to set my d/l to priority 1 (Because I upgraded my BW while it was downloading and I wanted the full effect to shorten the time).


Every priority I set sets the allocated bandwidth at 0.1.

Now my download that was supposed to be finished in <1Hour will be finished in >41 hours. Yay.

Well,the DL portion seems to work-Im stealing someones firewall at 2 BW lower than what I have.

lol its kinda glitchy still but press 5th priority then put it back to 1

Believe me, I've clicked every link on that page multiple times to try to get my d/l back up :P

Ah, it's a new feature, new features take time to be properly implemented. I just hope that it doesnt take too much longer than the regular D/L time and I can get it fixed before then.

Mine is back to normal exept i cant get it split evenly

O.O! Aw that sucks =[ uhm try downloading another file, set both to 5 then set the thing you're downloading to 1st then cancel the other if it works.

Where are you getting your file from? If another player, he has to stop, set priority V on all his downloads so you can take his bandwidth. Then you can set yours to ONE. You can't overload someone else's bandwidth anymore, so if he's downloading stuff stop it first.

Oops, another idiot move by GH. I see the problem now, thanks.


Now the only other problem is, the person I'm d/ling from no longer plays :(

The person who quit?...  :2: :21: I think i know  :2:

Poop.


I give up.

stopping process... ... Kernel V 0.1 successfully stopped.

Argh, what a waste of like...18 hours of downloading time just for a new feature

Aw darn  :2:

 Lol,out of curiosity,I tried the same person to see how long. -644h 43m 18s

Seems like that Public FTP just got destroyed with this new feature :P

Glad I got what I wanted already  :)  :)  :laugh:

Likewise whew :] We rock! high five~!

  Does this mean I could lockup my own system with virii to disable bandwidth access to others? Im semi-new to the virii process,I forget how it works.

Seems like it! Wow thanks for the idea, that's a new way to use virii for me  :5:

You can limit others downloads.. mwuahaha lol

Lol, for some reason I picture someone putting all their 1337 software up on Public FTP, but then limiting everyones DL's to screw em all over in the end :P

well yeah that's a great idea, but they could try remote disinfect  :laugh: but it's still a pain  :16:

LOL haha thats mean xP

takes forever to remote disinfect  :2:

They are talking about allowing you to split your BW between odd numbers of transfers.

Right now you can only evenly split if you are downloading 2 or 4 files.  Any other number and you can no longer evenly split.

 Did it set everyones priority to 1 if they havent changed it? Just ran into a 138 hour Spyware v.1 upload-BW was .01,but had 2 remaining altogether.

Nope, it wasn't auto. The person you were uploading/downloading it to/from probably doesnt have as much bandwidth as you.

 I see what happened now,I forgot I was maxed on BW (9) downloading something else-but I got a + .1 to my current BW (9.1),with the .1 allocated to the Spyware.

lol

 Even at a 2 BW it takes me 6 hours to upload a Spyware-Really makes picking on people not worth it! LOL

Edit: eh...  I thought there was a problem, but it seems the person I was connected to was messing with the speed as well...  >.>

This feature is rather awesome.

Lol i like your little sentence the the end xP

I think it's pretty cool since i know how to use it now  :16:

I had some problems about how to use the feature because I was looking under running software. But now I know where to look and for those who have the same problem I had check directly underIP Database. Its there.

Some other problems was about the download rate. It's kinda hard to get it to go as fast as you want it to.

Did something happen to force uploads?  I can only max it at 5kb/s.

You can only force NPC servers, can't force other players bandwidth (but you could stop their transfers to clear a way for you  :16:)

Thats terribly mean. And maybee the answer of how Im going to change that Im on 37th place in the ranks and take my right place just above sovietpride.

What's this "Dynamic Distribution" thing that i'M suddenly noticing now do?

It enables you to distribute the bandwidth among 20 different downloads.

You do this:

- pause all downloads / uploads
- select first -> set 5% band
- second set 10% band
- third set to 15% band
.....
- continue up to 20'th that uses 100% band

Rofl you got editted by sir emi  :laugh: what did you say??

his post at beginning, i saw and was horrified, it kills us!

The download priority I thru V implementation is pretty unintuitive and it's hard to get multiple downloads balanced evenly.

Someone rethink it please!  At minimal there should be a "split evenly" quickbutton or an equivalent functionality.

I've had some issues with getting it to set the bandwidth to certain percentages... most notably when that percentage would be below a certain bandwidth (setting 5% bandwidth has never worked for me because of this... most of the time setting priority 4 doesn't even work it just drops it to .1)

lots and lots of bugs  :10:, bandwidth system i think, is in order of an upgrade, pls post ideas in suggestions!
