thanks js
there are 2 things i've read that i'm having a hard time integrating with this new information.
first is the business about riaa forensics examining hashes and determining that certain files were originally shared at a specific time and by a specific service (eg napster).
the other is the experience of finding a file in a particular users share, initiating a download, actually getting a piece of the file, and then sitting for 1-2 weeks with no additional progress -- the accelerator reinitiates the process, the source is identified (the original user), but then things eventually terminate with "more sources needed".
btw, the files in question are cult tv (mgp & avi) & i am using k++lite 1.4.2
