well thank you , just trying to understand the network and if i have 1745 sources , iam wondering why i have an download of 1.5 kb/s thats all .

what i try to say is that if people cannot acces the router , that could happen , but i dont believe that is the majority .

for the sources of compleye files : edonkey and gnutella :

what you see at least for the netherlands is an upgrade for most people there is an "battle" going on betweens the different isp's ( hope you can follow me ) .

This mean that upload and download speed will raise twice . or as for me 10 times higher .

if you use the right settings downloads and uploads will not go sluggish , if everybody could set an 15 kb/s for each netwerk protocol this will have an huge impact on the p2p community .

the last years my upload was also 16kb/s as for most people with cable in the netherlands , because chello is gonna raise the speed other providers will follow and speed on the p2p networks will getting better .

so slugish download when you use 2 protocols i dont believ that , that will dissapear soon , llook at the combined ed/overnet , seems to be an succes .

sometimes i see the potential of gnutella with high speeds , but there are times i cannot understand why my download is 1.5kb/s with 1745 sources , so i try to figure out why this is .

Also new idears are not bad , using idears from othere p2p protocols is not bad either , if this will make gnutella stronger .

i believe you have to look at the strong points of other networks to learn and improve your own network , look at the succesor and do it better .
