well, looks as if it's been a couple of weeks since the last post, and i'm having the same problem. Maybe it IS my slow 56K connection, but what can you do with a 2 year lease, bad wiring, and not enough $$$ to pay for the high-speed access? Go to Scour i suppose. It's sad, because Gnutella came very highly reccomended to me... I'd love to read any suggestions anyone might have for a lowly college student living in the ghetto.
