Every time you startup LW you connect to different peers and ultrapeers. So potentially you can find different files than the last time you were connected.

There are millions of people using Gnutella clients and billions of files being shared. So it can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

I see what you mean mate, there was this one time that when I was chatting to someone in Italy that I uploaded a file to and I done a browse host search and it was in their list, but straight away I done a search for it in the normal audio search and it wasen't there even though we were still chatting so its things like that which I find confusing.

But thanks so much for all your help everyone so far, if you can think of anything please let me know
