Default Search ?

Hi Guys

This is just a question. Often when I leave LW doing a dl I check on it in the morning. It has usually dropped down to 1 host. No big deal. I repeat the search and get 0 (zero) results. No big deal just nobody sharing that file at that time. But then my hosts shoots up to 8. Still 0 found in the search but now 8 hosts. Could sombody explain this to me? I have kept track over the last two weeks and it happens more often than not.

Thanks

Lazlow

I think it depends on who you end up being able to search, I dont think the search always brings up every possible host at the one time...
I find that if I cant get what I want from the first search I will retype it again and sometimes it can give you different results....

Do you see a difference between retypeing the search and repeating a search?

Thanks

Different times of the day and night show different results as well..
I was trying to find a part 2 to a movie I wanted I knew it was there because I had seen it the night before, search after search I kept getting nothing, so I typed in the titile right down to the xvid dvdsr cd2 done1, and there it was with 12 hosts, whereas the night before I didnt have to go into such detail just the name, to recieve the results....
Sometimes it pays to spell things in a different way as well ie: mullens, mullans, mullins....
This will show different results as well, but all being the same artist just spelt different ways...It pays to play around with your searches....
Happy downloading ....
