Does it matter which server you connect to?
Depending on which server(s) you connect to you may get faster or slower downloads. Also, when you connect to a server, and search for a file (asuming you aren't using a link site) it takes longer to find a file that's not on the server. Also out-sourcing (downloading the file from multiple sources: standard) is also variable depending on the server (sources are all drawn from the server).
can you connect to more that one server?
No, and you don't need to, the servers also connect to each other I believe, and you find most sources via source exchange anyway.
No?Quote:

NO!
Just connect to any, and as long as serverlist is up to date and can connect with highID you dont need to worry about it. :ph34r:
