whenever i connect via bearshare and query a search, i am returned with lots of results, some of them show that a particular file is being shared by lots of persons... when trying to download, the status for most of the uploading clients either show busy, attempting (which again turns to busy)... what could be the matter? i waited for nearly 40 minutes before giving up. the same download was also attempted using kazaa and that started connecting almost immediately and started downloading within 25-40 seconds. i love bearshare because it gives better results than kazaa, but how does one resolve this problem?

one more question, how can one look (view) the partially downloaded video files (to make sure that they are not fakes)? thanks tonz in advance... pupudada
