Shareaza does take weeks often to download a movie. The fastest was 3 days for some reason. It takes Shareaza hours to download a song and Limewire minutes. I have cable with an incredible speed so thats not an issue. I have read all the useless info on how to make Shareaza faster, with no avail. And yes, my firewall is setup correctly! Even with 2000+ users on a file I waited 1 month before finally deleting it.
