Default videos

personally i think when it comes 2 downloading videos 1 would b better off buying them cause if u try and download them u will probably die of old age getting whatever u downloaded. as 4 me i have given up on downloading videos it is a waste of time and more trouble than what it is worth so i will settle 4 mp3s. example i am downloading the day after tomorrow and i am downloading it from i host . i know it depends on the connection we both have and the size of the file. but i am at 25 percent downloading and so far it has only taken 48 hrs 2 do so. is that fast or what

Default downloading videos

Personally I feel downloading video files can be fast. It all depends on what you dl. For instance, say the file name is blablabla.xvid.dvdrip. Try typing in xvid.dvd.rip and all other variations of the original file name. because when people dl these files most of them change the file name to what they like. I usually get video files with in 2 hours (700mb)
Good Luck

Things you have to realize about p2p programs:
1) You can only get what is available when you search for them. Meaning, if you search for 'BlahBlah' and no one currently connected has this file, you cannot get it! Also, even if what your searching for is available from someone, you might not be able to get it...for any number of reasons. So try your search again and try to download another file.
2) Answered before...Movies are hard to get because they are typically available from only 1 or 2 people. This makes it very hard to get the whole file, especially when it's a movie that could be 800Mb or more! That is a large file and takes even the fastest internet a long time to download. **Also, if the person your getting the file from 'logs off' while your downloading...you loose the connection and can't finish the download. It's that simple.
3) Limewire is Not some massive computer somewhere with all these 'free downloads' in it. It is a million people all over the planet that have these files on their computers. You will not always find what you're looking for, at least everytime you search. Depends who is online and what they have.

Does that help???
