Which version? After installing more than 16 of the versions that have been released in the last six months, I've come to the conclusion that the rapid development of gnutella changes so many variables that it's very difficult to say (almost bloody impossible) what is responsible for yesterday, today or tomorrow's speed.

Actually, today I'm trying a download that a few months ago took weeks to even start. In just an hour today--it's half done. Could be coincidence, but . . .

If you see such a quick change though, my first step would be to call my ISP and find out if they have decided to "filter" gnutella traffic. That could easily explain such a big change.
