Unreliable Connection to Gnutella
 

It's not just me -- many of my friends are experiencing the same thing... I can't get MacTella to get a reliable connection with enough files. Compare MacTella to something like Phex on OSX or even Blubster on Windows and it is S-L-O-W and you hardly find any files. Is this an architectural problem w/gnutella or the way that mactella connects or what?? I'm using a 56 K modem and connect at 48888baud most of the time w/ibook running osx. what's causing the problem? MacTella or my connection/laptop/etc.????

any help much appreciated
