really long download time

[dollparts]

can anyone help explain why files are talking so long to download? a 13,000 KB wmv file - 3 days and still not downloaded? maybe just that file is not good? it seems though that all video files are talking really long times, most never connect, or say "connecting" for hours but never actually do. also i have files that say they are downloading for hours, showing KB/s, but aren't actually changing the % downloaded. my connection is dsl on my g5. arghhhhh~ thanks for any help, this forum is great. i had a lot of questions, most have been answered just by looking through here.

The majority of multimedia files on the gnutella forum are music. So when u dwnld music theres going to be multiple sources in most cases. Howeve when it comes to movies, there a different story: see this thread for ideas. (click me please if you're brave!)
