Default mega.nz - performance issue

Why does the computer run very slowly during three possible causes during the process:
1. downloading
2. decryption
3. Unpacking the archive

Can anything be done about it?

The files are downloaded to a separate USB portable drive.

IO load?
decryption will take cpu load, and even unpacking of compression formats depending on compaction ratio, download should not take too much cpu. if you have multiple devices that all utilise USB can also be because of shared bus's (max speed over x ports, and not per port).

Don't fight the system, use it to your advantage. :]

USB2 is limited to about 30-40Mbyte/s. Imagine Download(Write), Decryption(Read+Write) and Extraction(Read+Write) -> Your drive (IO) is the bottleneck.

But can one USB drive affect the other SSD (fast) and slow down my computer?

I have a quad-core processor (maybe newest), but still considered very strong in its class. And the load rarely exceeds half of its value (i.e. 50%), for JD2 it shows 25%.

The JD2 application is installed on the SSD, and the files are downloaded to a USB drive.

On your system, anything is possible because you tend to want to use more memory than your system has -> paging -> slow.

You know that programs sometimes need a lot of virual memory, even if there is enough physical memory.
It is not recommended to disable Virtual Memory even if you have a lot of physical memory.
JD2 also uses virtual memory (even if you have a lot of free physical memory).
Although you can test the operation of JD2 when you turn off virtual memory and is the system speed of the disk higher? No. This is not very noticeable.
I have read several user topics in the forum and not only I have this problem.
The only solution is to limit other computer activity while downloading.

Again? The application doesn't decide this. The os moves memory around between pagefile and memory.

I'm sorry but I won't spend more time on this nonsense discussions. We've had enough threads about pagefile/virtual memory and how you overuse your system.

Hm.

I don't see nonsense discussions, my initial question concerned the only thing causing this slowdown (only question). I think someone has already given that answer.
But by the way, I remembered a very good advanced function in JD2, which you probably did not think about, but it saves valuable processor power and performance is higher.

Code:
GraphicalUserInterfaceSettings.downloadstablerefreshinterval
My current: 2000 (Not default!)


and:

Code:
Extraction.cpupriority
My current: High (Not default!)

Need change...

So you don't have to float. Your time is valuable to every user.

Thanks for sharing your settings and that they help you to release cpu *pressure/usage*
