Thanks for the tips, Hobo!
I wish I could find files with more than one or two hosts, that'd solve a lot of my problems. But it's fine, the TV shows I'm downloading probably aren't as popular as some, so I understand there wouldn't be many hosts for them.
I've been re-searching the files intermittently and it works sometimes, but sometimes they just don't wanna show themselves! lol
Anyway, for some reason the problem I was having has corrected itself and I'm connecting as usual again. So I'll just be patient and get them downloaded eventually...albeit at around 2kb/s! Although I have noticed I get better speeds when I have no uploads...I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or not. Oh well!
