Is there any way to download things using gnotella faster?

Rarely i can get download speeds of a few hundred clicks per second. napster seemed to be faster. right now i'm using gnucleus and its pretty fast, i think the, oh darn gnucleus just crashed. but anyway its still pretty good and one day all the programmers will make everything go really fast and then when the programmers run everything we'll simply steal it all from them and start the process over.
