I am a new user as well and I actually lost connection to the gnutella network recently. I was once a Limewire user until I discovered MacPhex. Now I am forced to switch back to Limewire because I can not get MacPhex to work anymore. Any suggestions? It keeps scrolling through many host's without connecting. Is it because my connection is too fast? I recently switched to Japan's new 8Mbps ADSL and I think that's when It started acting up. Will I have the same problem when my office switches to fiber lines running at 100Mbps? I have downloaded about everything I need already but I liked the fact that I could list what I wanted with MacPhex and then just leave my computer on all day to download. If anyone wants to trade stuff, please let me know.
