Hi barbarian2

Contacting another host for a chat is unpredictable, but in your case is probably not necessary.

There is code that will automatically and temporarily (not sure how long, but less than a day, I think) that will return "banned greedy client" if too many files are requested at once, or repeatedly.

To avoid that, only choose 3 files at a time from one host. 3 is the default setting, and few people change it. Test by downloading 4 files from that host: if 3 start and the 4th doesn't, that probably means the host is using the default settings.

As for completing those existing downloads, just do a "find more sources", and/or repeat the search.
