Been downloading a few films on Kazaa over the weekend but having a few probs with the download rates.
I'm using BT openworld broadband and when I download say a 6meg mp3 I get download rates up to 50kps but when I download a film thats around 750meg I get a lot lower downlaod rate, at most 10kps but sometimes only averaging 2kps.
I make sure I'm downloading from sources with over 400 bandwidth for mp3's and films but it doesn't seem to matter. Any ideas??

also the bandwidth thing is pretty inaccurate. I ALWAYS go for movies that have more than 20 sources. (Use Kazaa lite to do extended searches) I then get up to 120k/s - sometimes constant

also Kazaa lite allows you to do an 'unlimited search' which means that once its checked one supernode for the file you're searching for it continues checking until you tell it to stop. The regular Kazaa stops after one search thats why normal Kazaa users always moan about not being able to find files and/or many sources.
You also get a 1000 participation level all the time.
There is no spyware.
Loads of other features means I regularly download tonnes of films per day if I want at 700-2500mb each. Don't tell NTL though!!!
