Default 2 Topics: SLOW! downloads & 'Need More Sources'

I run OSX 10.3.5 and have LW 4.2.6. I have a DSL connection and have set my LW preferences to 3 stars or better. I usually try for T1 or DSL/Cable files, but still the majority of my downloads are 3-5KB/sec. Very few are above 25 KB/sec. I have had on occasion (very few) above 50 and even (surprisingly) occasionally over 100KB/sec, but most are down in the slower rates.

I've disabled ultrapeer and set my bandwidth to 100% thinking that may help. Still very slow. It's very frustrating.

Also, about 70% of what I search for comes back "Need More Sources" How can the files show in the search window but essentially be unavailable?

Any solutions to the above?

Thanks

(Usually I'd just search topics and post back the results but today I'm too lazy to do that.)

Need more sources may occur if you clicked for a download that had few sources to start and that the users hosting the download went offline or something like that.

Faster uploads...? Try this: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27036
