There are not that many differences between the basic version and pro version. The basic version connects to 3 Ultrapeers and the pro version connects to 5 Ultrapeers. There are differences also but they are subtle.

I'm not quite sure by what you mean on interupted downloads.

In your search screen next to quality you will see this #. The higher the number there, the more sources/hosts have that file, and the better chance for a succesful d/l. If the number is low or none, and they disconnect, then you will have to wait for them to reconnect, or another host with that file to connect.

If you look over a little more you will see speed. That shows what type of connection the host(s) for that file have. You have to remember that the d/l speed is dependent on the host(s) u/l speed and how many are u/l from them also.

Just a little trick I learned from Peerless a week or so ago was that if you increase the maximum no. of downloads to say 50. This may help your d/l speed by allowing you to connect to more hosts that have that file. 1)tools 2) options 3) downloads - maximum number of downloads.

Hope this helped explain it.
