Some ideas for getting faster downloads are:
1. Try search again or get more results so you can get hopefully find more hosts to download from. You can only download as fast as your hosts will allow.
2. Share lots of files, particularly similar to the kind of files you are trying to download. However a variety is good because it may attract some users who you might not normally easily connect to.
3. Patience; some times of days, or some days or some weeks are better than others.
4. Browse the occasional host from both search results & those downloading from. This can sometimes connect you with others.
5. If you are running as an ultrapeer, you can download from more hosts per file. However becoming an ultrapeer depends on whether more UP's are needed & your LW has plenty of spare bandwidth & is behaving well.
