Whats up with morpheus being so damn slow lately?!?

All downloads that have high bandwidth an should take just a few minutes to download all go like .5KB - 2KB /sec! When I get a fast download, it goes about 45KB.

I can download at about 150-200 on most web sites... whats going on?
 

Its the person you are getting it from.
Most do not have real bandwidth in their homes.

Morpheous is P2P, so the problem isn't with Morpheous itself per-say, but more with the users. Most likely, you're just hitting users that are on slow connections or already pushing out a lot of data.:eek:

<< Just right click on the download and hit 'find more sources for download'. >>

That never helps. I've been experiencing the same thing... Morpheus has been a slow piece ever since I got cable - it was fine on dialup though.

its fast for me on cable, provided i find a fast person.

and the "find more sources" thing works great for me. doesnt always work (theres not always other people) but when it does, it can really help!

Works pretty good for me too. Sometimes I'll only be getting around 3k but then I try finding more sources and I can get 30k. It may not be 150k but I'm not complaining. It was only a few weeks ago that I was on dial-up.

yea I've been noticing the same sort of thing, but winmx is a good alternative to all you people, not good if you like to set a large list of downloads before you leave though. only 3 dl's at a time.

yes this always works great for me. yo have to do it every so often because people get disconnected or new people with the file get connected.
