The only reason i know is becuase i had a file that had 2 soiurces and it just sat there not connecting. If his download slots were full it would remotley que me. Also i check to see if he was sharing any files and nope. I may be wroung but i am pretty sure they show up.

The remote queue DOES have a upload limit -- beyond which you'll just go directly to more sources needed instead of remotely queued.

Your Wrong

Shared = Shared
Available = Available

If it ain't shared, It ain't visible or available. Not in any list.

Unless it's a fake list.

And you don't want to stay connected to that source for long anyway. [/quote]

Any idea then why I will sit remote queued for a file for hours...only to get a 'more sources' message once I get 'connected'??? I usually then pause the download and resume...this usually puts me back in the queue again.

All the better the reason to remove them from shared folders.... at least then you would have an idea of what files are ACTUALLY available for download......

Correct me if I&#39;m wrong.....

I think if someone is sharing at the time they finished downloading a file, they would report it shared to their Supernode -- which might then report that file as shared by them for 5-15 minutes after they quit sharing it.

If they&#39;re never sharing, it won&#39;t become even temporarily reported as shared.

The search results you get are ALWAYS based on old news -- often a few minutes old to possibly an hour old.
It takes infinite bandwidth to keep everything instantly updated.

Makes sense..... still a pain though.

The person you&#39;ve connected with may have set uploads to &#39;unlimited&#39; bandwidth and it&#39;s causing droppy behavior or they have 20+ to unlimited uploads allowed at once. Nothing ever finishes and lots of connections break due to lack of bandwidth.

I think it would be a good idea that if a file you&#39;re trying to get is in Remotely Queued status, you could find out what number in the queue you are. Or is it not possible? I think on the edonkey network they do tell you what number you are.
