JoshB Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Ok so I've had my duma for a few days now and I've been playing around with setting on COD and basically just seeing how everything works. Somewhere in my wild clicking I messed something up and suddenly my browser was slowwwwwwwwww. I could run speed tests and things looked normal, downloads seemed alright, but just loading pages took forever sometimes. I was just about to post on here asking what I could have done when I spotted a post about speeds and saw suggestions they gave and noticed that I had "share excess" unclicked. So I clicked it and now everything works fine. My question is.....I had upload and download caps at 100%, device prioritisation was set to normal for all connected devices, so why would "share excess" cause such a problem? Far as I can tell everything is working normal now so just trying to get a better understanding of how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what your set up is, but say for example you had your PC set to 10% on the device prioritisation with share excess unticked, it would only be able to access 10% of your upload, which if for example, was 5mbps, it would mean your PC would only be able access 0.5Mbps which would make browsing slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought setting to 100% would give me full speed with or without share excess ticked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought setting to 100% would give me full speed with or without share excess ticked. The part with the upload and download sliders is anti-flood. The 'Share Excess' button corresponds to the device prioritisation which is set by using the 'Flower'. There is more information about device prioritisation here which includes screen shots so it might make more scene reading that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Ohhhhhhhh!!! So since I had PC on 14 about like everything else on the "flower" then without share excess ticked I was only able to use about 14% of my connection for each separate device??? With share excess ticked I'm able to use that 14% and more as long as nothing else is using it. Correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it only applies for upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Wow that seems so simple, I was thinking completely opposite so it had me confused lol. For some reason I was thinking share excess was linked to the anti-flood sliders above it. Now everything makes sense again. Thanks for the help!
