How can I turn off segmented downloading in the new versions of DC++?
DC++ v0.705 and above comes with a feature called segmented downloads. Basically this splits any file you download into 100s or even 1000s of smaller pieces and downloads each piece separately. This works well off campus where internet speeds are far slower, but on campus the processing power required to do this at the speed you download at will make your computer, and the computer of the person you are downloading off, work very hard and will in fact slow your download down. To turn this off in most newer version of DC++ and above, go to File -> Settings -> Advanced and put untick the box for Enable Segmented Downloads If you are on a version of DC++ between 0.700 and 0.705 then really we would advice you to upgrade, but if you want to stick where you are, you can turn segmented downloads off by going to File -> Settings -> Advanced -> Expert Settings and put 10000000 into the box for Min Segment Size in the bottom right. This sets the smallest size DC can chunk files into to be 10,00
