used Klyte 2.43 for years, have tried latest clean ver, no real diff and poorer searches, have a solid T-1 line
current problems: awful searches!!!! used to find 1000's, now lucky to find 100 files
haven't dl'd anything in 2 weeks
a few questions, maybe someone can provide some answers
1) should one retain "local" addresses? If I don't files will never reconnect, sometimes aren't even recognized by Kdat. BTW: kept my dat files clean, free of <unknown> and sources w/o file ID #'s
2) maybe 5% of dat's may reconnect otherwise I must find the file on a search to do a Klyte fixer to get it to restart (it usually does).
3) Kzupernodes is useful but it seems many sharer's have dynamic addresses today and old node references hardly help. Same for many of my favorites.
4) unrelated but why are so many people screwing up downloadable files by attaching ".partial" to file names which assigns a new ID # and renders existing uncompleted dat files worthless for that title?
Tried WinMX ... not much better.
at point of saying have had it with dl's. only dl'g I do are movies, no music. Music isn't a problem, could probably dl 1000/day.
Any suggestions? Know nothing about hashing so have stayed away from those programs that require a knowledge of it.
Thanks
