Beta searches

I just tried the new beta version but I am getting about 1/5 the search results i was before. I''m connected to the internet through dsl and should have speeds up to 100kb/sec. I usually get the 0 kbs showing up or when something that is waiting in line comes available, it jumps back down to waiting for busy hosts. (for example, it'll be at position 10...then 7...6...5...4..3..2..1....waiting for busy hosts) How can I fix this? Both the searches (i've tried disconnecting and reconnecting many times and this doesn't solve it) and the download prob?
