The Hosts are Coming is flying high
Question My First Question...

I've been using LimeWire since last October and I've seen nothing wrong with it (except the spam results I've been fighting to keep out of my searches, especially the annoying 134.4 mp3 file). But there are a few questions I've been wanting to ask the developers, like this one:

How do file hosts propagate?

I alreday know that the more sources a file has on it, the better (and faster) the download. But the point of that post is: how does the number of hosts grow for an individual file?

And also, why do some files that I desperately want have only one source, while others already have so many?

I'd like to get an answer, and (if any one of you can) post me useful threads on the subject. Thanks!
