Title: WLM - Slow downloading?
Post by: Mafs on February 03, 2009, 08:14:59 pm: Good evening, since I moved to a new house in the same city. I noticed that my WLM downloading speed went down to about 1 kb an hour (little bit overreacting, but you get the point).
That with the fact that my download speed went up from max 320kb/s to 1200kb/s in my new house. I'm living here a while now, but it really starts to bother me now because my speeds were normal in my old house.
What may cause that problem?

Specs of my pc:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 @ 3,16 Ghz
9500GT DDR3 512MB
4GB of DDR2-800 ram
Windows Vista Ultimate
Windows Live Messenger 8.5 with WLM plus

Does anyone have experience with this, or does anyone know how to solve it? Please respond.
PS: If I need to port forward any ports, please tell me which ports, as I do know how to port forward ;)

Thanks in advantage.

Well, like I said, I don't think it's my speed, but here it is ;)

Ye, you're a 'belg' :)
What I mean is that if i'm downloading let's say an mp3 file from someone else, it goes REALLY slow.. I didn't have this problem in my old house.

Make sure you don't have any programs opened like torrents; or anything else you know it uses internet connection.
Close all applications wich you won't need, and then try downloading again.

Normally you should have good speed.

The only thing that I have open is msn itself :)
So, thanks for replying, but that's not it. Firewall is also set up like it should.

Test it with someone else.

WLM download is just slow and I think you are limited to the upload speed of the other user. ( Which is now slower because you live somewhere else? )

Post by: lavamike on February 11, 2009, 04:09:41 pm: I think it's slower then other things because the person might be uploading to their server and your downloading it from the server what they've uploaded. I could be wrong and they could just be uploading it directly to you. Not sure, WLM Transfers has always been pretty slow for me even though I have fast speeds.
