connections vs. downloads
 

does the number of connections have anything to do with the number of search downloads. Previous version gave me many more results and better chances of downloads. Now all I get is "could not download awaiting more services", well I just did the search and it listed the file, why is it not available?

Maybe the host is busy, or the connection attempt timeouted, or the host is firewalled and you are firewalled too, or the host does not respond to requests on the advertised port, or a PUSH attempt failed, - there are many possible explanations.

The number of connections really doesn't have much to do with the number of searches or downloads.
