I can back up what you are saying. I am finding I can only download 1-2 files at a time, max speed around 150 kb/s for a few days now.
Only on 1byday though, the other sites on ddfprod seem to be working ok.
Thats what I get, reviewers curse for just giving them a score of 90.

What country are you in? I'm in the US and I haven't been experiencing this at all - right now I'm downloading with a download manager with a speed of 516 kb/sec, which is the download cap imposed by Comcast, from what I can tell - I never get downloads faster than 525 kb/sec.

REPLY TO #1 - ControllingMind :
this connection policy isn`t to understand for me. if they don`t want to have members to download more files, then they have to bring a dl limit in. those hidden limits are bullsh...my future rating will go down massive with that new experience!

REPLY TO #4 - ace of aces :
I am currently in Europe at the moment, downloaded from 1byday earlier between 150-200kb/s. Download manager wouldn't allow any more than one file at a time. Handsonhardcore though gives me DL manager use and almost my maximum connection speed.
I am lucky in that I have finished downloading what I want from 1byday, just going back for the new updates. I can understand why you are pissed off though, its wasting days of your membership.
I gather DDF servers are European based, so you might have thought pink panther's speed would have been even worse, further away with more chance of a bottleneck, but he's managing to get the max of his connection.
Maybe the 1byday server is getting overloaded by Europeans and they have put some kind of measures in place, to slow things from those locations.
Customer support is normally good if you have any problems with this site.

I agree 100% with you. The website is apparently for us European members unusable. Speed capping till the downloads almost stop.
This all started when they upgraded there website to the new look, which is a REAL DISASTER.
If i would give them a rating it would be VERY close to 0.

Hi,
The use of download managers is allowed. A few weeks ago the number of simultaneous threads was limited too much. We changed this settings after your report, so that shouldn't be a problem anymore!
If your download manager doesn't work at all, please try a newer one, that integrates into the browser! Some old download managers don't have this feature, and won't be able to download from our sites.
I can personally vouch for the DownThemAll! Firefox extension, as I use it myself. Some other members reported it to be working on our sites as well.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201
Getright and Flashget should work too.
As for the European speed problems, they only happen for a few certain ISPs, it's not by all means whole Europe. We're located in Europe too, and I get almost 4 mbyte/s from home.
We're always working on fixing speeds for those who're having problems. If you have slow speeds, please send an email to support@ddfprod.com with your IP address and a traceroute of www.ddfprod.com if possible.
Best regards,
Endre

REPLY TO #7 - Ace DDF :
1 by day is still much slower than other sites on the DDF network and still only allows 1 file at a time downloads, which doesn't happen either on the other sites.

Hi,
We tested right now, and we could use several threads, and the speeds were good on 1By-Day too.
Could you please send me the links of what you're downloading, and your IP to endre@ddfcash.com ? We'll investigate more.
Best regards,
Endre
