Its because the number of connections you made to the specific server or connections you make to the mirror servers.
So torrents and download accelerators like IDM and Flashget split the file and make multiple connections to the same server or mirrored servers.
So in both methods you can download many more times than single connection to the server.

But the main problem in the day time is not the server problem but the limited bandwidth through the ISP. But torrents never slow down (if downloaded from a private tracker), even if download accelerators may slow down. :S

Nope... Nothing, Running on Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Updated)
Hmmm.... I thought of calling SLT again.. but they sed abt a signal drop ne.. Till I fix that (The signal drop) those ppl will tell da same thing over n over again .. But when I askd abt their side, They checked and sed everything alrite frm their side.. I get a 6004 Signal strength to my house and to my room (after the drop of signal at somewhere inside our house) Its 1732 Signal Strength (I dunno wutz signal strength-Thatz wut they tld ) .. Is the signal levels Ok?

Wut do u think ?

What they mean by signal strength could be bandwidth in Kbps. There can't be such a drop inside your house :S There has to be something wrong with your cabling (internal). Usually, a few 100kbps drop can be seen, but not a 4Mbps drop, unless there is severe cable degradations "INSIDE YOUR HOUSE" after the discharger.

Yeah GT.... Kochchara connections thibbath ISP gen apita eddi ne case wenne! Eaka thama 2XXX eke di speed adu wela thiyenne! (it has 1:40 contention ratio unlike the 1000 one which has it as 1:1)... Eth torrents full speed eken wada (provided that there are enough seeders).. Matath oka mara prashnayak... dawal samahara welawata site ekak load wenna yanawa hena wela! Eth sira torrent ekak dammama dasa basa gala sada speed walin enawa!

seems like you don't have a problem from your end. Are you sure that you don't have any spyware or virus right?

Check with other friends who has 512k ADSL in your area. If they also getting slow speeds in the exact time period of the day then its mostly because lot of ADSL users for your local exchange. If they are getting higher speeds then start to bug SLT people saying your speeds are very low.
If they ask to change the wires or move the splitter etc.. Then tell them you got higher speeds to the SLT site so mostly you don't have any problems in your equipments or in the configurations.

Machan, ge athule b/w drop eka hungak wediyi. Cabling prashnayak thiyenawa wage. E hinda wenna ethi SLT eken unath 50kBps walinma enne neththe. (35-40kBps with 7 connections should definitely give 50kBps+)

Hell, even Firefox downloads them at 52kBps+ with a single thread

I called SLT back again yesterday.. I dunno but the person who picked up da phone tld that there is no difference in 1000 package and 2000 package.. Only changes are in billing and in usernames.. I dunno.. Im gonna change my cables very soon.. Gonna put a direct line.. I'll update dis thread

As i know the fact is most download accelerators make multiple connections to the same server. So SLT has one internet backbone to that area. So how much you make connections still all the data come through that same backbone. So there will be a bottleneck. In the other hand most of those sites we download hosted in USA so biggest percentage of the srilankan traffic reaches US data centers and servers. So US backbones are busy all the time.

When it comes to torrents you connect to people (seeders) around the world and they come from different backbones to SLT. Torrents automatically find best speed seeders and connect them to you. And why private trackers are faster than public trackers? simply because low number of leechers. I think you already know it so i don't have to explain more about that.

For download accelerators, as a solution you can add different mirrors to the same file from different states of USA or different parts of the world so you can utilize the the bandwidth from different backbones. (As i know SLT has many backbones to USA reaching east and west coast) But most of the time you have to manually find mirrors and manually add mirrors to the download accelerator from different servers in different continents or areas. Thats lot of work and time consuming process.

But some download sites gives you mirrors from different countries and different states of USA so you can get the advantage of that and use other backbones to download your files. I mean mix the split file connections from different servers like 1 from USA, 1 from Japan, Auz etc.. or if the file hosted only in USA from different states. (better if you can get links from larger physical distance like east and west coast)

I haven't checked since 2001 but GetRight has some feature like that which search for mirrors. They have a site called www.findfiles.com you can find mirrors to files using that. It integrates with Getright too.

Thatz some valueable piece of information
Thanx for that site www.findfiles.com Thatz a gr8 site

yep thats why slt dudes tell us to check speeds by downloading from their servers... otherwise if we download from other servers we wont get 50+ with any internet explorer .. so our folks would be dissapointed
