LW basic with a cable/dsl connection will attempt to dl from 8 hosts simultaneously.

You were dling from 5 users in Ares (15 sources) versus 4 users in LW (432 sources). Ever thought that some sources are sometimes faster than others? Tried to repeat the experience many times instead of one particular case?

If Ares is better for you, than use it, it is a good P2P, but with much less selection than Gnutella.
