100 users but it still can find any sources!!!!!

Postby mitchman00 » Wed May 17, 2006 7:49 am

if i try to download a file that has 100 users it says connecting.... then it says needs more sources. (100 users and it needs more sources.) This is the same reason i got rid of limewire. now if i try one with 20 users or like 10 it will download. I share my files allday long but i cant download anything.. does anyone know a better fileshare programe that doesnt do this.

A huge number of multi hosted files are junk ... planted on the Gnutella network. As you've noticed .. go for the moderately numbered files ... and use the junk filter (Frostwire does have this I think... I'm a Limewire user having a break lol)

Its not the programe at fault here ...It is the Network .... You can explore other networks ... personally I know nothing about them :)

See above, all these are junk.

Now go for the moderate numbers.

What happens if we download these junk files? Are they viruses or something? Or is anyone watching? Because my PeerGuardian shows that some of the junk is coming from the US Department of Defense.

The US Department of Defence is known to be one of many organizations that make attempts to infiltrate computers... as Peer Guardian can testify. There may be worms or viruses in these files and I can only suggest you scan them to be on the safe side, although a huge number will never download, but the host offering them can see who is trying to download them.

The presence of a web site address means nothing. I often put a website address in my comments box, if I have obtained that file from a website

Most viruses are from bad programs, no need to worry about MP3.
Advice: Do not visit website commented on file.
