Short Question, please.
 
Okay, just a quickie.

When I search for something, is it best to download off of people who have the same speed connection as you? I have DSL, would it be better to get from the top speed or to get from people who have the same speed as you?

Try all speeds. There are various resons why users will show their speed as higher or lower than it really is, and sometimes Limewire will show the wrong speed. I find no hard and fast rule that would really answer your question :) but if you can find a good file with more than 10 or 12 hsts sharing it, that is usually the way to get good speeds (but not always:))

That sort of and not really answers my question seeing as it is your guess, atleast you tried =P. The downloads that I really have a slow time getting is about 233MB (23 Mins of an AVI File. [video]) - Not like it's a song or anything, but I appreciate the help

Well, the reason why I said short question, is because people who type an essay out, it doesn't really interest people. ;)
