HOW COME WHEN I SEARCH ON K-LITE ON THE PLACE WHERE IT SAY "USERS" SOMETIMES IT HAS 45 USERS, BUT WHEN I DL IT, IT SAYS LIKE 2 OR 3. WHATS UP WIT THAT?

LOL...hey man theres no need to shout. J/k...anywho, it could be that those users who were sharing had signed off, or are no longer sharing the file.

lol, thanks man, you've been really helpful. But how does it go from 72 to 6 in seconds? That boggles me :P

[thegroggman]

LOL...yeah good point. But 6 is better than 'Need more sources' :lol:

Hopefully one of the old hands will correct me if I'm wrong here but, as I understand it:-

When you search, you're not searching "live" users who are on-line now, you're searching who your current supernode "thinks" has it. Since the last time your supernode updated these users may well have gone off-line or stopped sharing (there are some strange folk out there who do that! :) ).

I don't know how often supernodes are updated.


Like I said, I may be well off track here, if so I await instruction from on high.

Most of those users have probably got no upload slots left
