Unhappy not getting downloads??

i got the pro and jumped right in. thought i was in heaven getting 2 out of 3 cds for great movie i have wanted. giving many free files also, im somtimes sharing well over 100. well, after the first day? i aint getting downloads, simple music or the 3rd cd... (yes i am waiting for finish) i tried all the tricks for firewalls. all i get is waiting for busy hosts and awaiting sources... i do re-click them after a while but had one file on 17% for over a day, I got pissed and deleated the files i had yesterday that never reconnected after they stopped. I tried to do new searchs too. Im starting to want my freaking money back, this sucks, i have spent 3 days! I could pay for this stuff for all the trouble the program is causing.

There's multiple reasons some files might not continue from one day to the next. It can be net traffic, gnutella traffic, people with those files not being online, netwk traffic at the source, depending on your connection (eg: cable can be affected by local neighboring users), files wanted are in short supply, files wanted are wanted by many people so the upld bandwidth is busy with them so you get put in a cue to share bit by bit over time or not at all in that day, you haven't connected to enough ultrapeers, etc. When your files are being shared & uplded, it helps to make more connections with other ultrapeers. Some days or times of day can be very difficult to be successful as you suggested on your 1st day. We are at the mercy of the net weather.
