stured is right--finding more and faster hosts helps, because LW will download from multiple real sources.

Also, "general" searches tend to get flooded with the junk and other hosts drop searches once lots of hits have been found. So, a "specific" search goes out to the network further, and finds fewer, but more exact hits.

So, specific searches (with each keyword a minimum of 3 letter) go further and find your download the best matching sources.

Thanks for the tip, it worked and I'm now getting triple the d/l speed I was getting before. Thanks for sharing!

As mentioned above search for titlse gave me a 50X faster download on 2 very slow files.
