kmc77 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Please forgive my lack of knowledge about this subject, but I have a simple question. Before anyone mistakes what this is about - Overnet is running fine. I get excellent down speed. And new kernel seems to have fixed the occasional disconnect problem. So, I don't want anyone to think that I am trying to get it to run better. Here's the question. Anytime that I have Overnet open (It doesn't matter if I am downloading anything or not), everything else connected to the internet is extremely slow. No data moving up or down stream = slow browse/email. 60kbps up and 20kbps down = slow browse/email. I was just wondering why this happens, and if I can modify my connection/network settings so that I can do things like check my email without having to shut down Overnet.

aRTee Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 You will want to keep a couple of kB/s upload speed free, so that your machine can actually place those requests; if you give all bandwidth to Overnet/edonkey, you have nothing left. Note that it doesn't have to be data, it can just be communication from the overnet network. 20% of your bandwidth for websurfing etc should be ok, so 80% for overnet of the max....

NeoXP Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 thxs, just the package overnet was enough, I'm trying to find a good filesharing-app. I'm used to DC++ under XP.
