If I go and do a search again the same one pops up as available and yet I can't get a download off it. It doesen't come up busy. Though of late I am getting a tone of the "waiting for busy hosts" for like 4 or 6 hours and then their off line. Is there a way to expand bandwith or something that will help speed up my downloads when these folks are on line?? I have stuff that's almost 2 weeks old that is only downloading maybe 3% a time when they log on. Is this what pro is supposed to help with? I mean with having a cable modem I don't feel like my download times should be so slow or have so many probelms. Especially when I think that most of them are coming from cable too. Am I doing something wrong or just expecting too much from the "program"??? LOL I have been getting the feeling of late that I am expecting too much from several different things in my life.... SOOOO...

A few things, Your download are limited by the person your downloading from. Therefore, if the remote host is busy, misconfigured or simply unstable. These things will impact your downloads.

Keep in mind, that if you are attempting to download popular content i.e music and movies there are also companies the broadcast results but make it impossible to download those files.
Therefore, you can spend a month trying to get a file that you think is one thing and it turns out to be something entirely different.

Finally, LeeWare Development hosts close to 30GB of content on the gnutella network on a 24/7 basis. We basically see datastreams (metered / throughput) = data going to users at rates between 1.5Mbps - 6Mbps. We use the latest version of LimeWire to do this. I can assure you that it is definately not the program.

Hope this helps.
