Hello,
I've been using fileserve and mu for a year but since they're gone I'm using rapidshare.
The speed is half of what I had with the other websites that is not a problem.
The problem is when It starts files download and when it ends files download.
I dont know if it's rapidshare problem, my connection or if I didn't configured jdownloader correctly.
I also use premium account and I always download on an external hard drive.
With fileserve and megaupload and other websites, it took 1-2 secondes to start the file to download with full speed (5 mb/s lets say) and when it was done, it started the new file within a few seconds.
With rapidshare, it seems slow.
The download seems to "freeze" for like 20-30 seconds and then it starts downloading at normal speed ( 2-3mb/s ).
When the download is almost finish, the download speed goes under 1mb (500kb-700kb).
When the download is finish, it takes like 5-10-15(max) seconds to "approved the file" I guess (loaded via *account name*).
Then, It takes another 20 seconds and more to load the other file download.
I download into parallel and it does the same thing with only 1 file.

The delay might be caused by the encryption (https). Try it in your browser.

on startup)
you download a file that is 419430400=400 mbyte in size, that file needs to get created first because you download with chunks (connections >1)
the download should start immediately if you use max connection = 1

on end:
after close, jd checks the checksum of the file = has to read and calc hash of the complete 400mbyte ->can take some secs depending on system load, disk speed(maybe saving on network drive even slower)...

:O thx guys for fast response!
So its just a rapidshare "problem"?

I don't mind waiting a few secondes but sometime it can be very long :/.

I use 5 max dl so I can download faster in parrallel.
What happen if I keep 5 dls and set max connection to 1? Will I lose speed?
I actually download at 10mb/s total and I have 7 max connections.

[Jiaz]

this is no rs problem
if you start downloading 5 files in parallel and max connections >1 all the files will have to get created first
creating 400mbyte*5 in parallel of course takes some time, same for hashcheck

you should not loose much speed as rs is known to deliver very good speeds

Alright thanks alot
It's better right now!
"Problem solved!

I'm having a similar problem here. I have a premium account and have been downloading always at great speeds for my connection. Usually is 250-300 Kb/s but now I just get a variation of speeds with a max of 90 Kb/s, sometimes is as slow as 9 Kb/s (no, that's not a typo).

Max Con. 1
Max Dls. 1

DirectDownloads was disabled on RS and reading some older posts saw this could be a problem and turned it on but no change so far.

I'm posting here despite it's solved just to not make a new thread, hope it's ok. Thanks in advance

[Jiaz]

speed only comes from hoster/isp/firewall/av. jdownloader always loads as fast as it can.

So it's a hoster/ISP problem? I'm not messing up? Java is allowed in firewall and antivirus

[Jiaz]

you are not the reason. its either overloaded server, isp or routing issue. there can be many reasons for it

OK, thanks a lot for the quick response.
