I canceled both and started my target file again. It picked up at the 17% then stopped ay 31%. I did battle like this for about 90 minutes. It was like battling a prized game fish... but I finally got the entire file.
Also... speaking of searches... just how many hops does a ultrapeer pass a request on to? Just what's happening when I request "search for more sources" and it counts down from 300? And just what is Out Of Band searching?

Was it as satisfying as game fishing? Will you mount the file on your wall for all to see?

In the right hand column, beneath Contents, if you click 2.3 Searching - under the Answers subtitle, there is information on 'Needs more sources', 'Awaiting sources' and many other topics.
However I was not able to locate information on OOB - maybe I need glasses?
Stief, if you do know what OOB is, or where to find the information, can you please post it here?
Thank you.
Cheers :-)
