DC Strong application is used to download various files and search for resources on the Direct Connect network. Its simple setup, wide opportunities for file sharing on local networks and on the Internet make this program one of the most popular clients.
Instructions
Step 1
When using DC Strong, the program itself chooses the highest speed, analyzing several sources at once. However, at times, DC Strong users are unhappy with download times and need much faster speeds. If you want to improve your download speed, first check the version of the DC Strong client you have installed. The older the version of the program, the lower the speed.
Step 2
The download speed is often influenced by the configuration of the DC Strong program in the distribution area. To have DC Strong search not only for sources with full files, but also for sources with parts of files, click the Settings menu. Select the "Advanced" section and uncheck the "Do not show prohibited files" line (this applies to unfinished files WinMX, KaZaa and others).
Step 3
To speed up the race, you can change the number of slots and mini-slots in the "Ball" section. As a rule, in the "Download slots" item, users indicate 1 or 2 slots, which leads to an increase in the number of users waiting in the download queue and to a decrease in the number of available sources. Therefore, it is better to set the number of slots in the range from 6 to 10.
Step 4
As for the exchange of files with descriptions of the contents of your disk (mini-slots), the "Mini-file size" parameter affects the download speed. The closer it is to 1000 KB, the faster users will be able to recognize the contents of your files, and the higher the download speed will become.
Step 5
It is not uncommon for a slow download speed to come from your upload speed. Open the "Settings" section, select "Advanced" and the option "Add finished files for distribution". If you check this box, other users will have access to some of your downloaded files, and you, in turn, will have access to those files that you need yourself.
