Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

my download for truecrypt does not work very well. Ketarin does not recognize download size and the download is dead slow.

(please: no - download from filehippo - suggestions)

The download predictive percentage can only apply if the server responds with an http header indicating the filesize. In this case, the server doesn't tell Ketarin how big the file is, so Ketarin can only download it with an activity indicator - NOT a percentage view.

 

As far as speed - that's entirely on the server's end - there's rarely any difference between speed within Ketarin and using a browser. Have you timed the download using a browser and within Ketarin to see if there's actually a performance difference?

Also, please use bbcode "code" blocks around any templates you post to make sure that it's easy to replicate them. Otherwise certain characters are likely to be replaced by entities, which makes troubleshooting near impossible. We need to be able to see *exactly* what you see to replicate your situation.

the download speed is excactly the problem.

in the browser there is no limitation in speed (max. bandwith), whereas in ketarin is about 5kb/s.

 

i tried also faking user agents and analyzed responses with a traffic spy.

I can replicate the problem, but cannot see why. The Truecrypt server is not behaving the way other servers do when using the httpx protocol extension or the convert-get-proxy with "/dl" or the direct parsed URL you've included above. I'd have to chalk this up to some form of security software on their end that can tell the difference and doesnt like Ketarin.
