Keep2Share & Fileboom Issues

[luch]

200 KB/s just now for a k2s file of 170 MB (Belgium, Europe)

[Gwynd]

Fileboom and Keep2Share download speed is supposed to be at least 150kbs if links are clicked from pages hosted at Planetsuzy, or it's 'sister site' Fritchy.
However, speed might be affected if you copy the links into new pages, are using a download manager, or do anything else which may cause Planetsuzy or Fritchy to no longer be recognised as the original referrer.

If you are clicking links directly from Planetsuzy without doing anything to cause them to not be recognised, please post a link to the relevant post, and state your location, so that we can check them.

I don't use filejoker, rapidgator, or any other hosts which don't allow resuming downloads for free users because it's ridiculous to me to feel like downloading a file is a gamble to see if it'll finish. Big or small.

If you truly don't have a problem with this your internet is awesome. Mine is not.

Thank you for confirming that it's not PlanetSuzy's fault that you can't download at 150 kb/sec. I'm afraid it's up to you to get a decent ISP and if I couldn't download at even a very slow 150 kb/s then I'd stop paying for a crappy internet service and go back to buying DVDs.

What I have a beef with is people demanding rule changes, and even worse that "Filehost X is shit and must be BANNED" when most hosts work fine for most members. If Gwynd and the rest of 'the management' listened to all those demanding bans, we'd have no filehosts left to download from except ZippyShare which isn't available to me in the UK.

Around 700 Kb/s with k2s until some days ago, now less than 50 Kb/s.

That explains it, thanks! So as long as there is no referrer in the URL as well, using a bookmarked link will result in slow speed.

Do they also allow resume when they recognize planetsuzy as source?

The above is what I have found over the last few days. If I click on the Planetsuzy link and download via browser, speeds are 100-150 kbs - if I copy the links into JDownloader2 and download, speeds are around 30kbs, and around a third of them get interrupted and stopped, and are not resumable.

That should be fixed in the next update according to the team in their forum.

And K2S is back to being trash. 50 KB/s

Edit: Oh I see... it has to be referred by this forum to have decent speed?

They don't.

I guess I'll check back with these hosts next year to see if they realize their mistake.
