the only way ive been able to get connected well is to have like 20 connections... i know ur not supose to do that but it seems the only way to increase your amount of hosts.

I haven't tried gnutella when it was working normally, but I would think that you would get a TON of hosts from only 2-4 connections... but i am having to open a TON of connections just to get a good number of hosts

i'm guessing this is what is slowing down gnutella
