Yes of course - that's my next move - hopefully I will succeed....thanks a lot

[MUSLEMAN]

as long as he gives you the right supernode you should be just fine

[jackdaniels]

Yep I'll do it for sure - listen this morning I've been trying to connect to different supernodes in different countries and I've noticed that the same two files were being downloaded all the time and still from the same users.This is strange for me because as I told you I've been changing supernodes.Do you have a clue?

[MUSLEMAN]

lol yes boss i do, once your dat file has the source's ip stored then it does not matter what supernode you are on, we change supernodes to find more sources to add to the dat files which = more speed

[jackdaniels]

Oh I see - I still have to learn a lot. Listen my brother gave me his supernode connection IP address and I am now connected to this supernode-it&#39;s seems to be a very good SN as the search results are very good. I&#39;ve seen also my brother as a user in the search results. However, Muscleman, I&#39;m back in sh*t. Whenever I try to download something(there was one particular file over 100 users with Excellent integrity) it began to download from a Maltese user again (I can tell from the surname) and this particular user was not one of the users given in the search results - I&#39;ve tried this thing over and over again and still connected to the Supernode my brother gave me and always either more sources needed or else the file starts to download from a user in my country where sources are very limited.(just to let you know total population of the whole country is <400,000.) It&#39;s like I am connected to the supernode only for the search results - otherwise I am connected to a local SN - although whenever I check whether I &#39;m still connected to the SN my btrother gave me it will be ok. I don&#39;t know-I&#39;m confused. What do you think is the problem?

[MUSLEMAN]

the problem boss is that you have no sources for those files

[jackdaniels]

So how do you expalin the fact that being connected to the same SN we tried to download the same file - and my brother downloaded it in 2 minutes and in my case it&#39;s been in a more sources needed status for more than 2 hours now. I think the answer is not that easy Muscleman.

hey boss i&#39;ve done this a million time, as i said you can&#39;t compare the 2 everthing about them is not exactly the same, so you can&#39;t compare, sn is just one aspect out of like 10 different things.

now i&#39;m not gonna argue with you, you wanted an answer and i gave it to you, its either your isp, sources, supernode, network, how you connect and etc.

unless your brother is sitting right next to you using the same exact pc with

the same exact procesess runing in the back ground, same exact klite with

same exact files, with same exact settings, uploading and downloading the

same exat amount of files, with same exact # of downloads in the traffic,

connecting exactly the same way to the internet, using the same exact isp

with same exact rules, and being exactly in line for that file same exact

place, which even then they can be different, but till then lets not even

waist our time, just because you are connected to the same sn


now if you know something we dont&#39; then we are all ears ofcourse boss

[oldjagman]

As I understand it you can only download from Maltese users regardless of the location of your search results. Could this be a function of your ISP rather than K-Lite? Does your ISP restrict your access in some way and would changing help?

This is unlikely in general because your OS and AV updates may come from many international locations but may be a policy for P2P downloads.

I know in the middle east some countries have a single ISP with severe restrictions on web access - it may be simply that the Maltese Telecom service does not want its international lines jammed up with loads of happy downloaders&#33;

Why not ask them (but first make sure your activities are not illegal in Malta).
