Changing ports does funny stuff, for example, first I had it on port 1203 and 2 out of the 4 downloads were downloading

Then I changed it to 6364 and I got the other two downloading yet the other 2 stopped.
I think I'll have to go on and research p2p and networking

the magnet link is downloading slower than them all, like you said , lord, very odd!

As for getting bearshare, I bet it's better but I already have LW and bearshare costs money, but will think about it
