Try offering something other than MP3 or rare tunes not usually found around on the net.

For example, if you're offering Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird, that file would prolly never get downloaded from you unless you are on a T3. Because everybody and thier sister is offering that file on the net and they have T3 lines. So as a downloader that sees tons of Free Bird files showing up in a search, why would they download from a slower source?

Solution... Try to offer what's not offered at every turn. I'm offering OGG files now (only ogg). When I connect, within 5 minutes somebody or two is downloading various OGG files from me. And these are files that are popular from ever turn in MP3 format. Not only that, they are getting them from over a modem connection that is listed as a modem connection.

Basically, I'm saying, "will more ppl please start offering ogg files. I'm having a hard time keeping up with demand."
