I'm just curious about this. When I open a search page I can immediately get ten or more people sharing a given file. I send it to be downloaded, and the download manager reports that it knows of one busy source. I go back to my search and it's up to 10 people sharing that file. I look back in downloads, still says one. I close the search and start a new one. Again, it finds many people sharing the file in question. To be certain, I try to add it only to be told it's already in my downloads. Yet the download manager thinks no one is offering it.

This happens over and over and over and over and over. I think there is a significant problem with the way availability of files is communicated to the download portion of the program compared to how they are shown in search results.

Version 1.21 build 237, OS Win2000. But I've been noticing this for a really long time (before 1.12, but I didn't always grab each update so I don't recall which ones specifically).
