your download speed depends on the # of sources for it and their upload speed, anddon't be fooled by whatyou see in the search window they are not an indication of who is available for connection so change supernodes to see if you get lucky, also use localized supernodes, also try changing ports, and lower your upload bandwidth,remove the no ip sources from your dat files and see if it helps

thanx musleman i'll try those suggestions

[MUSLEMAN]

np boss also make sure you set you download/upload speeds right and don't max them out

[boadiep]

how do you do that?

[MUSLEMAN]

go here and test your speed (http://www.dslreports.com/stest)

then run the wizard and set them accordingly.

also under uptions check your settings and make sure upload and download are not set to max set download close to max and upload to what ever is comfortable for your connection :lol:

If you have "fast cable" (1.5mb/s or above), use the K++ built in accelerator to search for new sources.

If I look like a fool, just ignore me. :P
