Well sorry, but I give up on 050.
The problem is that it cannot keep it's connections up, hoever apart from this, the rest seems to be working well.
e.g. When i start up wait till I have a few stable connections, and do a searc, I do get good dl results.
But as the send queue builds up, I loose my connections, and so I am connected to an average of 2 clients ( a constant coming and going of clients) and yes phex does clear up the deprecated connections , when disconnect policies is on.

Phex 046 is a very good version and is still my favourite client, and I will continue to use it till something better comes along.
