Joe here,

The strangest thing happens to me when I do a search and download on Limewire. The more people out there that have the same file I am searching for, the less I am able to download. You would think that the more hits on a file the better. I cannot download a file that has more than 11 hits, 11 people with the file. I can start the download if the search results in less than 11 hits, then as the file is downloading, if the hits grow to 60 or so, doesn't affect the download. I am on broadband so speed is not the issue.

Some files I cannot get because they are too popular for my capabilities. For instance: say I search for "Stairway To Leaven?" If more than 11 people have the identical file then I cannot get it.

Unusual, hunh?

Well, maybe one of you out there can comb through the issue for me. Would sure be appreciated.

Joe.
