why can't I D/L from more than 10 hosts?
 

no matter how many sources there are, even if there are 50 or more for a particular file I Want to download, I can never receive from more than 10 hosts at a time. why not?

I'm a pro user if that helps.

If you have a T3 connection, that number automatically becomes 14 for Pro users.

However, allowing too many users to tie up the upload slots would hurt everybody, so the LW developers have set the optimal host number with the whole network in mind.

right on.

I wish it went on to something larger than 10 for us Basic Users :p Meh, whatever, I'm cool with 10 hosts :D

Set your connection type to T3, (regardless of what you actually have) and you will get more hosts. I have actually got 15 hosts, but only once!
