I've been using the Overnet client to download for the past weeks. However, it's been getting slower and slower in the last few days and has now just stopped downloading altogether. It says it's connected, 2688 Files,  0 Reachable. Does anyone know why (assuming that I haven't changed anything on my computer)?

No, they are trying to stop an avalanche.  They can stop a few thousand downloads maybe with lawsuits, but billions and billions of downloads more are going on right behind their backs.  They are idiots.  The P2P Genie is out of the bottle, and no way its going back in.

I always use http://pcpitstop.com. But make sure that you have nothing else running in the background (MSN Messenger, et al). You might get a more accurate figure in Safe Mode With Networking. If the safe mode figure is much higher try and find out what else is using your bandwidth. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html is a great little utility that shows all the active internet connections on your PC

Well it seems to be a slowdown due to a trojan not checked by your tools.\nSo first of all make a back-up or transfer all  your data to another support. Then format the residential HDD and everything will be fine.\nIF this is too much complicate and time wasting I'll suggest a couple of links where you can connect and get better freeware to clean-up your system....let me know.\nb/regards

I copied this from another page, you might find it useful!\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNo problems for me. I was with Tesco previously and my Sky connection is miles quicker. Had no problems installing it either but if you do I recommend this very useful forum :\n\nhttp://skyuser.co.uk/\n\nI recemond the sections on setting up your router as this will greatly increase your downloads especially if you use the torrent networks.

There is an inherent problem with Ares.  It works great the first few times, but then you'll need to reinstall it for some reason.  Every forum I've seen says the same thing.  If you don't restart Ares every 30 minutes or reinstall every week, then you won't connect as well.  I would drop Ares in exchange for something like LimeWire.  I used Ares for 2 years... I didn't want to change, but now I'm glad I did.

it may be a badlink or your connection speed may be slow. Try to find any spam or virus is affecting yr download. You can even try download managers (star downloader is free) to download the software by filling the url address. If the problem persists it may be a bad link or try to download from the mirror download.This option will be available in the download page itself.

I think this is a temporary file.\nwhen you are downloading a file the pc gives it this name. \nwhen the download finishes, then it gives it the correct extenstion.\n\nstef

well you cant really control your torrent speed because it depends on the number of peers (seeds) you are connected to...\nit also varies with your upload speed...

Download and install this bit torrent client:\nhttp://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/\n\nThen right click your torrent file, and select open with> and open it with that program (abc). It will ask you where you want to save the downloaded file, choose a destination, it will start downloading and will be in the destination you chose when it finishes..\n\nHope I helped!

sounds like the file is no longer available, probably because the computer (or computers) offering the file are no longer on the Kazaa network. How to fix? The only way is to wait around until the computer is on the network again.

Yeah, it'll do that once in a while.  Just try to get the update later.  Or, if you want you can download the update(s) manually from Safer-Networking, http://www.safer-networking.org/

you can get improved downloads by getting the free program called   free download manager,  it is free!  it will not speed of your computer but it makes more channels available for the data to enter you computer so you get the data a little faster,, also if you have to reconnect it starts were you left off so you do not have to start all over,, just go to www.freedownloadmanager.com or do a general search for it,, there are lmany sites were you can download free stuff like games, security programs,,, try tucows, or just type "free downloads" "freeware" etc in the search bar!!!!

The higher the number of users, generally the faster your entire file will download. Because on ARES you're not downloading an entire file from one user, but partial files from a number of different users. So the more users are online with the file you're trying to get, the better the chance that when one of them finishes downloading another one will be right behind it to continue.\nAlso, in your control panel make sure that you're not set to download too many files at one time. With high speed internet connections, between seven and ten is a good number. If you have dial up, I wouldn't recomend trying to download more that two or three at a time.

Network  Info  Clients\nBitTorrent This is perhaps the weirdest network mankind could have invented in history. You cannot search for a file in it. You have to find a web site, from which you can download a (very little) .torrent file. The program, using this file, will be able to connect to a mini p2p network made especially for that file.\nOdd indeed, but the download rates can be magnificent: even over 100 KB/s. The choice is surprisingly big.\nSee here a list of clients.\nAres (Warez P2P) The network is actually called Ares, but since it only has two clients: Ares and Warez P2P, it is sometimes referred to as Warez P2P as well. It is a little smaller than Gnutella (around 1.000.000 users), but has a very similar efficiency and content. However, unlike Gnutella, it is not open (when you create a program, you can not connect to it for free), and so the choice of clients is very little. \nAres\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nWarez P2P\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neDonkey2000 (ed2k) This is the biggest network that there is. It has about 3.500.000 users. You can find almost anything there.\nBut beware: the queues are enormous. You may have to wait for hours (sometimes, days) before the downloads actually begin. Once they begin, the rates are usually acceptable but never stunning. \neDonkey\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neMule\nprobably the best Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nvery good;\n+ Gnutella, Gnutella2 & BitTorrent Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nFastTrack This network has become very well-known thanks to its extremely over-advertised client, Kazaa. It is big (almost 3.000.000 users) and full of fake files (an effect of RIAA and MPAA hard work).\nIt is technically very good but the number of fake files is a major overhaul.\nMost FastTrack clients are loaded with adware and spyware. Lite versions recommended. \niMesh\ngood;\n+ Gnutella Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nMammoth\ngood; no ads Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nKazaa\nfull of adware and spyware Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nGnutella Gnutella is a very good network. It is not very big (about 1.300.000 users), but big enough to ensure a good choice. Downloads very often begin immediately, and the rates are good. However, they hardly ever are as good as in BitTorrent. But unlike BT, it is searchable.\nThere is a child of Gnutella's, Gnutella2, which is quite a small network (about 150.000 users).\nGnutella has perhaps the highest number of clients. \nCabos\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nLimeWire\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nPhex\ngood in Windows;\nvery good in Linux Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nOther networks\nThere are very many networks out there but most of them are tiny and unimportant. Below are some other names you could have come across. I did not put them in the table simply because I do not recommend them.\n\nDirectConnect - quite a big network (about 300.000 users), but a user-friendly GUI is yet to come; if you like having much too many windows open at once and being constantly confused as to which information on the screen is important, you can try it.\n\nFurthur - the idea is nice, but its usefulness is minimal; its main goal is to promote unknown musicians; you can give it a try, but the content will most probably disappoint you.\n\nIRC - the grandfather of p2p networking; unfortunately, it is still as comfortable in use as it was when it was born, which is a good couple of eras before the GUI-controlled modern p2p clients.\n\nManolito P2P - this network would be not bad if it only allowed for sharing anything more than music.\n\nSoulSeek - too little; sometimes you can unexpectadly find interesting things there, but in most cases the choice is very little.\n\n\n\nA beginner's guide to P2P., caminoix\n.: Publication date 17-July-2005 :: Reads: 8293 :: Review :: Print current page :: Print all:.\n\n\nGeneral Choosing a client Further reading\n- What is P2P? - Main networks - General links\n- Why use P2P? - Other networks\n- History of P2P - Multinetworking\n- Secur
