The "#" symbol on search page!
 

There is a "#" symbol that shows up on the search page next to the word "Quality" (the column that has the stars in it). What does this number symbol mean and why do only some songs show an actual number in that column while others are blank? Some have small numbers and others are much higher! Help!
Thanks!

That shows how many people have that exact same file with the exact same no. of bits & bytes.

The star quality represents your chances of successful connection & downld. Generally best to download from 3 or 4 star sources so there's a better chance of getting connected & not ending up needing more sources.
