why is it that header download indicators are in KB/S, and Article downloads are in MB/S.

When you see 450 KB/S / 450 KB/S what is the meaning of the both of them?

Don't you just love it when a new user to a great program ask so many questions.

Its a great program once you get the hang of it.

It shows KB/s or MB/s depending on the speed, instead of 0.01MB/s it will display 100KB/s.

Second bandwidth is the bandwidth after input stream uncompressing, so it is normally higher - if your provider supports header compression (on average 4-10 times higher).

If I understand when it shows 450 KB/S it's not even reaching 1 MB/S downloading headers?

The Kill filters & watch filters when are they applied? After or during downloading of headers? Maybe this is slowing header downloading. Thanks Alex

Alex,
look at this by increasing my Limit RAM Usage my header downloads are now matching my Article downloads at 3.0 MB/S and over.

The limit is at 300 MB before there was a 1 MB. Can this go higher on the RAM usage? I think it's maxed out at 300 MB

The default is 50MB, if the value too small the header download speed will be affected, buffer size/update rate is proportional to maximal achievable header download speed.

strange I kept trying to take the 1 out of the Limit RAM usage but everytime I hit Apply it would put the 1 back in, now I am guessing if the box is blank it would default to 50 MB? If so I can not get the box to empty, it has to have the 1.

By default I mean when you install the program.

For Windows controls internally the empty box value is zero, for this particular edit box I see now it doesn't interpret it as default but gets the zero and sets the closest valid value which is one, probably you deleted the default value at some point and got this one there which had limited the bandwidth.

You can just type 50 and then press apply.

it's working great now, thanks Alex.
