stumped is flying high
Default Connecting... (host 117 tried)

whenever i try to download large files, generally over 500 MB, occasionally it will state that it is trying host number x & will count up to the number of hits registered on my search...

then when it reaches the last one, it will say awaiting more sources... & if i research the same file again there are still 100+ hosts for this file, & with some files i have tried to download like 10 different versions of the file with more then 30+ hosts, & they all end up this way...

i am using vista & LW 4.14.0

i have cable & have set my download bandwidth to max & generally download around 1 meg / sec with smaller files, but larger files are definately hit & miss

is there a reason for this? & more importantly is there a solution?

foolofthehill has a spectacular aura about
Default

With files showing up with more than 10-20 hosts I would guess that those files are faked either planted by the MPAA or RIAA or their associates....

Try to download said file(s) from search results with lesser host numbers....

Cheers
