<< I downloaded KaZaA and nuked the spyware. It was good yesterday; I was getting downloads from 5.50-6.00kb/s (on dial-up
Today, KaZaA feels slow also, sometimes dropping to 0.10kb/s just like yesterday's Morpheus.....who knows?

Being a P2P network, your download speeds have nothing to do with the login network itself...

If you're only pulling say 1.6k/sec from somebody and can do better, then that's all they can give.. It's as simple as that.

Eli, if they're a hidden/secure node, that's not the truth. To give a quick back story, Gnutella supports a form of "next man only" security, in which a node can be hidden by its IP only being known by the nodes it directly connects to. Anyone who does a search will still search through that node, but will get a route back instead of an IP. Once a user starts a download, the data packets will work their way through the nodes until it reaches you. Your highest speed will be limited by the weakest link.
