Hi. I searched for a movie and got 190 hits, and then when it was downloading, it only downloaded from a max of 8 hosts and only rarely reached 40kbps. I have a 2mb broadband connection that maxes out at about 203kbps, can anyone tell me why my downloads never pick up on many hosts or why the speed never goes much higher than 50 or 60k? (Connection is always excellent or turbocharged)

Not everybody uses cable or broadband, etc. & of those many might not have available or set much bandwidth left for uplding or slots available. If only a certain no. of people have the file & only some of those have available bandwidth ... eg: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&pagenumber=20
