Try doing a new search, & go for a file with 10 sources or less. Modem sources are usually pretty good but if you're after a fast download then that's not going to happen! You haven't said what type of file you're trying to download...video or audio. Check the link below anyway, it has tips for both http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...33&postcount=2 |
I know for a fact that the file is not fake, as I have checked it.
I suppose getting a file with 10 or less makes sense, as you can never download from more than that many. Doesn't having more sources make it more likely that you will get a fast download?
And it is a
video .avi file, 348MB.
