Question along those lines...

First, I love Phex and 5.3 is the best. My question has to do with the auto searches. I want to set it up for the best results for me but also so as not to be a bandwidth hog.

If I have, lets say, 10 avi files I want to get, should I search for all of them at once and set my max dl to 10, or should I only search for 2 at once with max dl at 2, or search for 10 but set the max dl for 2?

I want to know which way would help me get the files the fastest but also which way would hurt the network the least.

If this would help in your answer, I use a cable modem and my system is win98se on a pentium 400 with 256 ram and about 4 gigs aval on my hard drive. I've tried different combinations of the above and can find no connection between how many, if any at all, files are downloaded. Sometimes a file I want will be unaval for days and that's why I lean towards the bigger search but I don't want to be doing something that would be hurting everyone else.
