i tried out all major clients, but currently have bearshare in regular use (it simply seems to work out best at the moment). i have noticed the effect especially often with servants in the ip-range of 213.112.x.x and 213.112.x.x which according to bearshare are located in sweden and which usually provide me with fast downloads (they also have fast uploads from my machine).

of course i resume the downloads, but i have to look for files with same name/size each time. it just seems unnecessary effort lets say. the ip i started from stays refusing me at least on that file for a long time. thats why i am wondering ... i on the other hand had also finished downloads from the subnets mentioned above, so i dont think its a general, technical problem. that's why i thought it might be the users "refusing" ...
