Think this is different, re: slow download issue and #of donors

[bjswalker]

I don't know, I did a search and I think this is a different question, but I do beg pardon in advance if I didn't go back far enough reading searches and I'm beating you all with a dead horse here.

I'm using LW Pro, the latest version and have deleted preferences, but that's not really related to my question, I don't think.

When I very first bought LW Pro, I did it because I liked the concept of being able to d/l from many people to get a whatever it was faster. So if 10 people had what I wanted, I could d/l from that pool of 10, rather than just grabbing it from one of ten. Become a Borg, as it were.

Has that ended? I'm currently d/l some stuff where there are 20+ users with each item, and each item is showing 50+ minutes to d/l. With previous versions last year, say, I'd have had these puppies downloaded in a minute or so and it would say "dowloading from "x" number of sources."

Now, I got nuthin'. But apparently a lot of time on my hands. Did something change? I'm still showing a turbo connection, I'm still a leaf, I've got nice connections and I'm not showing an unreasonable drop rate.

Is it just Nutella now?
