No.
Best thing is to re-search the file. If it shows up then the person is online. Follow what I suggested above. Can also use the Advanced search of Get MOre Results by right-clicking the search tab & choosing that option.

BTW some gnutella users such as Shareaza users will not always have the gnutella network turned on. They can be difficult to connect to anyway because they often have multiple networks working at same time which take up all their bandwidth. I've also noticed users, particularly ShareAza users having dynamic ip's & they don't return to the one they had when I first started downlding the file for some weeks.

Hey LOTR

So basically you're saying is just to be online 24/7. That's ok.

You mentioned emailing users - how? Is this something that can only be done when they are online?? Brings us back to square 1. LOL

I'll just keep persisting and hopefully get my source back (I'm up to 89% - can't quit now). If not, I'll just pay $298 (US) for the cd from the Zon.

thanks for the help.

PS

LOTR why is it that the songs show on your listings then you aren't able to download them. If you say you can only search for files when the user is online, then shouldn't you be able to download that file??

Begs the question
