about downloading on kaaza.
I get super slow speeds only seen on 56k modems when downloading something on kaaza. The only time when I get normal speeds is between 3:00 am and 9:00 am do you get the same? is something wrong with my computer? is buckeye-express behind this?.

KaZaA is full of spyware, uninstall it and scan with Ad Aware & SpyBot then use KaZaA Lite. The spyware will kill your connection.

I have kaaza lite and I run spybot search & destroy on a regular basis.

Great, then your one step ahead of the masses . Now you just need to tweak your connection, please read the Help & Tips link in my signature.

also do you have the kazza cheat tool if not you get it off of zeriopaid.com

TCP properties for IP = xx.xx.xx.xx (cblmdmxxxxxxx.buckeye-express.com)
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 51 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

Lower your TcpWindowSize to 64240 and set Tcp1323Opts to 0.

I tried everything and it's still the same.

OK according to your ISPs site your caps are 1000/128 so use the following settings in Cablenut and see if they help, remember 90% of your caps is your goal.

DefaultReceiveWindow = 128000
DefaultSendWindow = 16384
DisableAddressSharing = 1
InitialLargeBufferCount = 100
InitialMediumBufferCount = 240
InitialSmallBufferCount = 320
LargeBufferSize = 81920
MaxFastTransmit = 64000
MediumBufferSize = 15040
PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 1280
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1
IgnorePushBitsOnReceive = 0
GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize = 32120
MaxFreeTcbs = 8000
MaxHashTableSize = 16384
MaxNormLookupMemory = 5000000
SackOpts = 1
SynAttackProtect = 1
Tcp1323Opts = 0
TcpLogLevel = 1
TcpMaxDupAcks = 3
TcpMaxHalfOpen = 100
TcpMaxHalfRetried = 80
TcpRecvSegmentSize = 1460
TcpSendSegmentSize = 1460
TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30
TcpUseRFC1122UrgentPointer = 0
TcpWindowSize = 32120
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 10
MaxConnectionsPerServer = 8
DefaultTTL = 64
DisableUserTOSSetting = 0
TcpMaxDataRetransmissions = 6
DefaultTOSValue = 92

VERY IMPORTANT TO DO THE FOLLOWING

1. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.

2. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings, make sure NOTHING there is checked.

3. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC from the manufacturer. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it is ISP dependent unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL (the instructions are in my Help & Tips link). If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

4. Clear your temporary internet files.

5. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for atleast 15 seconds.

6. Download and update then do a scan with SpyBot & Ad Aware 6.0 to remove any spyware then install and SpywareBlaster to stay spyware FREE.

7. Make sure you do the faster web page tweak in my Help & Tips link.

Perhaps you should also, you know, look into who you're downloading off of. If you're getting a file from a 56k modem, do you think they can upload at speeds of 40k/sec? Your download on a peer2peer network depends on the upload speed of the file HOLDER, not the download speed of the file WANTER.

also download the cheat tool at http://www.zeriopaid.com if you have a low status in kazza u have limted bandwith u could have

tried everything my connection on kaaza is still super slow.

You can only receive a file as fast as someone can send it to you.

One thing I found in the older versions, I don't know that it applies to the new version, and that is make sure you DO NOT have "Become or Function as a supernode" checked. When I messed up and had it checked, man did it make the speeds suffer.
