I've been selecting only 4star results and supposed T1&T3 sources for 3 days now trying to get files ranging from 1KB to 400MB, music to program files. Using TWO broadband connections (a cable modem at home running approx. 1Mb on average and very stable, the other a 1/2 T1 Symmetrical connection from a business telco!!!!). Downloads crawl on both and VERY frequently get the stupid 'requery' messages immediately after selecting a file from search results.

Give me a break! This SUCKS!!!!

Time for a good old-fashioned BBS!!!!!!!!! At least then the files would download. Now that I think about it, they downloaded faster than the damn LimeWire system does!!!
