Hello all. I am new to JDownloader. I have noticed that when i set my connections to 20 when the download is near completed the connections start to drop off & downloads become slow. Is there a reason for this. Why can't it still be 20/20 until completion of download. Why the slowing?

Please read Optimizing your number of Connections

To keep a connection going takes for a long time requires around 10 K Bytes per second. For 400 connections, that is 4000KB/sec or about 35Mbps (that is the equivalent to a "full channel" cable connection, or 8 DSL connections).

Usually, your optimal Connections per file =1 and you download multiple files at the same time to "fill your pipe" (maximize your downloading).
