Thanks for your support




great speed you got there for 1Mb streamyx

Just sign up today. Test some torrent. See the screen shot. Speed quite ok. Thumbs for the service, safar.



I am on special package. So don't care about the upload speed.

for now need to msg admin to unrar the file if needed but we are looking to enable this after test

Bro..u got PMed...

Hi, what is the total maximum download for each account (assuming it's a popular seeded torrent) ? and for the upload what is the maximum speed?

Thanks

PM Reply.




For basic and value
Unlimited download speed
for upload capped at 500kbps MAX
1:1 Seed | 1:2 | Stop when Done

For standard and delux
Unlimited download speed
for upload capped at 500kbps MAX with extra RM10 - u can get seed package that give you 1:10 seed at 1000kbps upload, still the download are unlimited.

1:1 Seed | 1:2 | Stop when Done

Thanks for the fast reply sir ... anyway, what about the download speed to the Torrent Flux itself? For each account of the user, what is the capped limit kb per second (assuming all the torrent is smoothly working and each is receiving more than hundred kb/s) ? Some provider is capping the dowload speed (from seeder to the Torrent Flux/WebUi user account) at 300kb/s .. so, how about you sir.

Thanks for the information


P/s: Good upload speed .. max 500kb/s

we don't capped your download speed


see the screenshot below, or msg me on safar@live.com (MSN) / safar.ibrahim (yahoo) for trial





My Max download speed was 22MBps

Remember to update when you support server side unrar.

Interested in your service but no unrar is a letdown.

server side unrar is stupid.

Heres why.

first of all, downloading with FTP is faster with many rar files because we offer multiple connections per account so you can download more than one piece at a time.

second, rar is a compressed format.

It's absolutely ignorant for a user to want to make a file BIGGER, WAIT for that file to BECOME bigger and then spend MORE time downloading it.

ALSO remember, unrar takes up CPU cycles, so when you add that into the mix it's an absolutely retarded thing to turn on. The only reason to support unrar is if you have the machine locally and you are using it as your media server (ie you run torrentflux at home)

The people who really understand torrents understand that rar is a better format. You can unrar files on your local machine.

Also keep in mind if your download stops for some reason it's MUCH easier to resume downloading because you don't have to redownload the same pieces.

Whatever makes you happy.

Anyways, from my experience of the torrentflux services around here is that, 1 download at one time, 8 - 10 connections tops. Of course your service is otherwise. However, even if I can download more file at one time, my speed is limited not by the amount of files i can download at one time but rather by the connection speed. Most of the time I get full speed, when my housemate is not downloading his(more on that later)and with the queuing systems of most download manager, the process is seamless.

My reason for asking server side unrar is that I share my connection. I can't afford to get my own line, and that my housemate uses xunlei. Due to the fact that his files are chinese sources, mine is otherwise, and the nature of xunlei, he gets more speed of the line. Now here's the problem, downloading a bunch of rar files is a pain in the behind for me, due to Xunlei flooding the line, I have trouble making connections to the FTP server. With the huge amount of small .rar files, I spend most of the time waiting for the files to make connection. With an unrared file, Because I only start the download once, my speed is better.

If I had the choice, I wouldn't even bother to unrar them. Unpacking the files would waste server space, and since these packages are mostly based on the space you pay, they are precious. I'd prefer to get my files faster, and by doing so, I can clear them faster. Of course, with that pea sized brain of yours, you wouldn't have think that some people need to unrar because they have a good reason to do it. Before you call people stupid/ignorant, you'd have to know the reason for them doing things that you deemed being stupid. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. But with that kind of a language/attitude, good luck to offering services to people man.

Look, i understand many people have many different reasons for asking for rar but at the end of the day it's all based on a false assumption.

I wasn't trying to offend you, i was just explaining that rar is a bad idea. When you have more than a few people on the same server the load adds up quick

at the end of the day finding a better ftp client would be the best solution, not offering rar. Many people don't understand that they can get better speed if they use different download manager.

I wasn't saying YOU were stupid
i was saying that if we used rar that would be stupid.

wanting rar isn't stupid, ESPECIALLY if you don't know that there are BETTER ways to download stuff. My point is this. Having unrar server side causes a massive amount of load. If you unrar 3-4 things at one time the load shoots up by 200-400% that is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE when all unraring does is make a file LARGER which takes up MORE space and ends up taking LONGER to download. I'm sorry if you felt like i was calling YOU stupid. Honestly though, if you tried to use something other than Xunlei you'd see we can BOTH get what we want.

again, i'm sorry if i offended you, obviously i am not the person who deals with the customers =) i'm the Tech guy.

also, understand, ignorant doesn't mean the same thing as stupid. ignorant means lacking knowledge or training. It's not the insult people think it is. Like...i'd be ignorant of how to play the piano.

I'm glad that you cleared things up.
I did not use Xunlei, i use utorrent, my housemate using it, causing my downloads to slow.
Well, as to the time it takes to download, I get same speed on rar files and on the big files. No speed difference. And since rar is less beneficial, i choose the bigger file. As to the downsides of downloading larger files, now you open my mind. If you don't wish to offer server side unrar, it's totally up to you. But you can limit like 1 file each time. Of course this is hard to monitor, but I meant is as a suggestion.

I wish it was that simple....but hey, that's the difference...when you use utorrent at home its not going to be any faster but with a bunch of small rar files over ftp you can get greater speed than just a single large file over ftp.

So. let's say you have a 700 mb file broken into 10 70 mb pieces, with FTP

let's also say you you get 20 kb/s max with a single ftp download but now you have 5 total ftp slots in the basic package (9 with the delux)

so instead of getting 20kb/s now you're downloading the same file at 140kb/s



THAT is the point i was trying to make....well, one of them...it's a VERY real situation.

Agreed.

However, like i pointed out earlier, from the service I'm using now, I get full speed downloading from the FTP server with 1 FTP account, at 8 connections. The reason I'm thinking of switching is that their upload speed turtle speed. Not that I want to get those RM50 seedboxes with high upload speeds anyways.

Tell me when you are offering server side unrar.

Thanks.

Well, this torrentflux works great 2me...especially on private tracker. and i wish to say that... it shows the best service and support. Thanks bro. FTP download is superb...5-6 connections may got d full speed.

Thanks for the kind words of support,

I've tried to make the ftp as fast as possible for people on slow internet connections. Running on a BSD system helps because it has a superior network stack compared to Linux or (gag) Windows but the road to making chinese characters work properly has been bumpy. I am happy to say that our system now FULLY supports unicode characters, so if anyone has a problem in that regard be sure to check out our forums.

There is still a few things i can do to tweak the system some so you can expect it to get even better. We're already the fastest, and soon we're going to be faster.
