Thanx much!

There are no servers. Gnutella Network doesn't work with "real" servers. Every host of a file (i.e. people like you and me) functions as "little" server.
In other words, if the host(s) of your file isn't online, has moved the file, has deleted the file or has renamed it, then you won't be able to continue your download.
The number of hosts depends on how many people share this file under the same file name and size. Sometimes you have to be patient when downloading files with only a view hosts.
