Hello

I was noticing very poor speeds with soulseekqt, now ive done some testing on other platforms uploading to the same users as i did on soulseekqt
Here is the thing, if i upload to a user on soulseek my upload runs at max 700KB/s (my max is 12000KB/s
Now i tried to upload the same files on DC++ and what happens, they go steady at 12000KB/s
That seems to me as a way to big difference of 500KB/s
Of course nothing else was running on my pc or internet connection while testing this.
Now i wonder why this is are isp's throttling slskqt or is it in the software itself?

Best Regards HardHouse

The file transfer loop is pretty lean, but I guess it's possible there's a limit to the transfer speed imposed by the implementation.

That would be a shame, i hope that it will be fixed soon because i can only use max 60% of my upload speed on slskqt i could start more uploads at once and then i will reach 1200KB/s but i upload a lot to people i know and i want them to get full speed on 1 single upload as i can on DC++
