He's not the only one. It's kind of sad, really. I _DO_ understand the Ultrapeer concept. But results talk, don't they? And my results are completely negative. Since "upgrading" from 1.7 (never did install any of the AssWare that came with 1.8 and onwards) to 2.02 Pro I have gotten exactly ZERO files. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. That's sad.

2.0.5 beta didn't help. I _found_ a few files, but couldn't get any of them. Oh, well.

Will 2.1.0 beta help? I'm not willing to find out because I don't use programs with ads in them. Trojan or no Trojan.

So until 2.1.0 Pro comes out (if it ever does), I'm using 1.7 - and yes, I know that's detrimental to the progress of the network. Tough. I'm not going to use a "better protocol" on principal when I can't get ANY files through that "better protocol".

I'm not bitching you out, I'm simply trying to explain my point of view. If the new system simply returned LESS hits but I could still GET files, I wouldn't care. The problem is that usually the new system returns NO hits, and when it does I can't GET ANY files. That's not progress, not even in theory.
