do PC to PC calls use up much of your download usage?

That depends on your connection speed and the quality of the sound.\n\nThe telephony standard for voice quality audio requires 64kbps.  That's not too much, and any decent application will compress this to take up much less bandwidth than that.\n\nSo, even at 32-48 kbps, that's a fraction of a lower level broadband connection (500 kbps - 1,000 kbps).\n\nIf you're using DSL limited to an upstream link of 128 kbps, you might notice some problems with uncompressed audio, especially if you're using other internet applications at the same time.

That's a tough question to answer, because really nobody knows; none of the major networks is willing to share information on their traffic statistics--but the non-profit research organization CAIDA has several good papers that make estimates at www.caida.org; I've listed a link to one of the papers below that estimates almost 60% of the traffic volume is consumed by peer-to-peer filesharing protocols like BitTorrent.

That's the maximum bandwidth. You'll never have all the time that ammount. Ask them what's the minimum bandwidth guarantee and the usual one. They should tell you because it's written in the contract!

It did that to me for awhile too...I was downloading from people that weren't the same connection as me. You have to download from cable or dsl users if you have cable or dsl...Who knew?Lol.

Chances are, there's just a bunch of stuff running ... i.e. your e-mail is polling the computer every few minutes and therefore occupying the CPU's time.\n\nThis shouldn't really be noticable though.\n\nThere are a number of free utilities available to help.  I suggest you do a Google search on "What's Running" (include the quotation marks) --- this is a great little freeware utility that can really help you unload a bunch of stuff that doesn't need to be sucking up your CPU and memory.\n\nNo, I don't work for them !    ;-)

All of this softwares working @ same time might slow down your PC, cos they all are using your computer memory all at the same time

the download accelator  takes the most of the bandwith of your connection\nthen it splits the file(s) in threads (pieces) and give each thread a part of the bandwith \ni hope it,s not too tough understand

It is the amount of data that they will allow to be transmitted from your account each month.\n\nHow much you will need depends on how large the files are that you are hosting and how often they will be accessed by users.\n\nIt is normally more economic to have too much rather than too little, because if you exceed your bandwidth allowance many hosts will either just suspend your account for the remainder of the month or will charge you for each extra Mb used - sometimes at quite high rates!

When you look at task manager is there a particular process that is using a high percentage ?? Also try msconfig and disable all start up items and see if you still have the high usage, if not then one by one turn them back on to see what makes an affect

Currently I've found 2 gigs to be a sweet spot.  Mainly due to the current setup of Windows XP and most software running on it.  Any more and the gains are not worth the expense.  I.E. very small gains after 2 gig.  Less than 2 gig and you really will start to slow things down.\n\nOf course that is with my personal experience, which I support a medium sized company and all it's machines.  So I have a good amount of experience.  Other configurations of programs and system requirements may change and increase that size.\n\nBut, for the biggest bang for your buck.  2 gig is the answer today.

if you are having problems with adult things on your pc, you might want to think of using spyware/ antiviruses. Odds are, if there are adult things on your pc there are dialers as well. these can be used to call very high costing #'s and run your phone bill sky high!

it is taking a lot of bandwidth to download and it is not leaving enough room to do much else, i am assuming that you are on a dsl or cable hookup with a wireless off that to a second or third computer

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.
