Try varying your search terms & also use the All Types search rather than just Audio. Maybe, set your preferences (tools > options etc) to show all qualities & all speeds. Try to download from multiple sources. If you're looking for rarer files, try searching at different times of day. It always varies a bit as people go offline & new hosts come online.

A few tips here

Birdy,
I think the problem is I'm trying to download from users who are not allowing host browsing. Does that make sense?

Browse Host is a bit hit-and- miss. One minute you'll be able to browse, 5 mins later you won't. It doesn't mean much

It seems a bit easier to browse if both you & the other host have chat enabled, but again - it's no guarantee.
