here's one for all u experts. about 80% of files i try to download with kazaa try to connect in the trafic window and after about 20 seconds tell me they need more sources...most especialy game file that i really want. now i have tried to source many different files with the same name or size and all will start in the trafic window as they should but fail to actually download then i give up for a while, help please :angry:
try a different p2p like mirc or bittorent, kazza is a dying network
are you on adsl or cable and behind a router, if so ya gunna need to poet forward and use kanat
its what delphin460 said or you just don't have sources for your file.
remember: 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 , and if you have a router you need to get kanat
thanks for the assist so far 1 mirc?????? don't know what that is yet, 2... bit torrent sucks big time as far as i am concerned, tried it for about two weeks and every download took nearly 3 to 4 days and then some yuck........ 3... cable and no router, there usually seems to be maybe a couple of people downloading the file but it just comes up as more sources needed or remotley cued .... or whatever..... more please
More about mIRC ;)Quote:

please do a test,search for van halen’s “right now” and wait untill you get 30 or more sources and then pick for download and tell me what you get make sure your traffic is paused or cleanQuote:

(they should remove this smiley from the board,it's far too aggresive :ph34r: )
Anyway,All i can say is that you should do a search for the same file again.
Keep searching and searching for more sources(in the searchfield,not traffic screen)...keep searching till no new sources are added anymore.
And it's not because the tenth search doesn't ad sources anymore,that the eleventh search won't ad new sources either(if you know what i mean).
For bigger files you should only start your download after the search can't find more sources for it.
This will/might help in getting your download start of sooner,instead of searching for more sources while it's allready in the trafficscreen.
And also jump supernodes yaddayaddayadda...if you find that it's going slow
Hope this helps a bit
B)
did that to show you that the files you are talking about have no sourcesQuote:
