First Thanks for responding!
Sleepless:
What/ where is direct connect tab? Don't see that? Do you mean under the file tab at the top?

Yes, I am behind fire wall but I think that is OK. I have recieved several (20 -50 so far)good results where I was able to d/l good files, mixed with the NMS ones. Woulden't a firewall issue keep me completly away?
I don't know that I should completly discount this as an issue because this is the first firewall experiance I have had.

I can relate to the BAD LUCK but this problem is pretty new, I have been a power user and found lots of files, but this is way more than in the past.

Most NMS have been from single host results. I have redone the search and they are still there so I do not think they are due to host dropping off line.

LOTR:
I had looked at most of the info before I sent this post but one question I have was about the ...preciding the MP3 colum issue. I have seen some of them but they look like the file name was just to long and was shortened? is that what the spammers wanted me to think?
I posted a question on that post but not sure if you will see it (still trying to figure all of this Fourms use out)(Like should I be copying and quoting your origional responces in this post? I want to make this easy and follow correct procedure)

Thanks for helping and I will review all the links again to make sure I am not missing something. rockboy2001
