for those who haven't already discovered: kmzpub got 2 FTPs: the standard one, and a second one which has not all files but most. the second one is much faster, often over 100 kBps.
on the page, when viewing a games description, there is the link to the FTP and under it is the second ftp... if you get an error msg, just copy the content displayed between the href="...." into your browser location and hit enter.

i'm having a download going at this very moment, and it averages about 980 B/s. it's a 62MB file, so it may take a while. but i'm a patient man. and quite polite, too.

i must say i didn't know that, loki1985. your command of the russian language is definitely better than mine. hats off for that.

slow download speeds notwithstanding, kmzpub.ru still ranks amongst my favorite sites as it hosts some particularly hard-to-find oldies. that offsets the slow downloads - but as the server supports resume, i leave it up to my download manager to do the trick, while in the meantime i visit other game sites.

eheh ... force of habit. sorry, folks.

theres only 3 instances of my download speed at KMZPub its either

1.) 4.9 kb/sec - best case
2.) 2.2 kb/sec - worst case
3.) 530 - Sorry the maximum number of allowed users are already connected (700) - that message comes from my download manager, most probable case :D

whaddaya mean, 3 instances ?

restrict yourself to one download at a time - that helps.

i use netpumper as D/L manager, with the result i described above. it's never let me down (ok, i know it contains adware but i kick that every time i start it up).

a word of warning about the christmas tree you are about to mount in the living room ... if you forget to water it every now and then, its needles will fall off. ask for a waterproof tree garantee in the shop when you buy it. either that, or prepare to replace your needles every week or so.

i only use 1 download instance, i meant to say i get 3 outcomes of it (leaning to number 3).

i use Download Mage (mainly) or NetVampire (HOTU type of downloads). not the best combo but does the job for me, at least i dont have to deal with spyware that most DL manager comes with :evil:
