Wink p2p challenge: slyk is at it again

slyk is at it again. sigh story is here
Quote:
Considering the amount of networks TrustyFiles is able to search and download from, it would be difficult for singular network clients such as LimeWire to compete, or even accept, such a challenge. This is like a Boeing 747 challenging a Cessna 172 to a race across the United States
from slyck's 'story'

So I though I'd see what the LimeWire would do up against the 'Boeing'

-set LimeWire 4.3.3 Pro prefs to 100 simultaneous downloads on mi l'il 'ol mac (800MHz G3 iBook)
-clicked "what's new" search and downloaded the first 100+ files that showed up.

1 hour later (good speeds), 70 were complete, 25 went to "need more sources", and a few more were still downloading.

LimeWire rocks, eh!
