hehe oops ... consider it yours even if it was just so close.
I do recall there was a major issue with one of these so-called accelerators .. cannot recall what it was. Some accelerators for p2p programs did actually work ok .. the earlier type p2p programs on a different type of network; I'm sure you can guess which. But they are now dead or .. with very last breath. O.o

I do recall with one research that one of these so called accelerators pounds the hosts to get a foot into their upload door. Of course, even if they get to the door, LW has an automated function of banning clients that hit at them too often ... referring to them as greedy.

Same thing happens if you download too many files from a single host. In general, try to download no more than 2-3 files at a time from a single host.
