Hi,

I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with my Internet connection, my copy of Limewire, or perhaps just a problem with Gnutella lately.

The # of hosts/files that my client can see seems to randomly go up and down.... usually down. I used to see 10 TB pretty commonly. Nowadays I'm seeing between 50-400 GB. SOMETIMES it will jump to no more than 2 TB, and then magically the hosts will drop way low again (perhaps 85 hosts and 50GB), within a matter of seconds.

As a result, I am only able to locate files that are very common.

OS: XP
Connection: Sprint Broadband (up to 4000Kbps)
Limewire: 1.7d

PS: Please reply to me via email, if able, since I don't visit this forum often. Thanks!
