Default Re: How do u download MP3's from Gnotella

[.....but everytime i try the line is always busy?????]

Hallo:

It is not easy to suggest you something to mend this, sometimes you need a little bit of luck; and sometimes a little bit intuition.

To remind: Busy means only that the 'asked' computer has no upload slots free - an upload slot is, so to say, an opened channel to download. If the current download is done, one slot will be free, so have a little (or sometimes more :) patience, and you are likeliy to get next place in queue.

You have not mentioned the servent you use, but nearly any servent shows you the 'quality' and estimated speed of the delivering computer. So learn how your servent displays this, and chose fast hosts first - they are not only fast in uploading, but, for being fast, will have a faster upload slot turn-around. So you are more likely to be next in queue :-).

Remember also that many people are firewalled, so their computer will not answer directly. So to speak your PC will ask theirs, they have to answer and 'push' you the file - this may take one or the another minute, too. So be patient again *grin*.

At last I want to mention that, if needed, you could request a file more than once at a time. If done, your servent will name them like blablabla_1.mp3 to blablabla_3.mp3 (example), so order a file more than once and have a look which one comes first and fastest.

Soon you will get much more experience, and then your success percentage will rise, so keep up and try again :-).

Greetings.....
