So, after downloading connect.zip and putting those files in the db folder it still can't find hosts?

You don't appear to be firewalled and the connect.txt file you started with is so old
that none of the hosts in it are valid anymore. That's why you need the new one.

i dont know where to download that zip file

i dont know where to download it to on my computer

If you are looking for the link to click on, it's up there in my earlier post.

If you are looking for where to put it on your computer, follow the instructions which
mentioned the Program Files\BearShare\db" folder..
