I like the trim fast traits of Mactella, and the Search always works well, but when I go to download, I get nothing, not even a partial. It opens a "Download One" window and the progress bar goes from zero to totality in no time, yet nothing has happened, and no file, not even a PARTIAL has been received. Nor does Mactella ever indicate, except by that full progress bar that anything has been received. The Status messages continue, saying mostly "Opening c..." with a few short occasions of "Sending p..." appearing as well, but I never get my file, not even a short 1MB file succeeds, not after waiting seemingly forever. LimeWire, f'instance ALWAYS gives me at least a partial file (playable, if Audio) and LimeWire's Progress Bar CAN be trusted to be meaningful.

Of course, my connection is not great: 33.6k baud; but it always works Ok in the other client. Why can't I get a Download to receive, and why aren't the Status & Progress messages meaningful?
