ok, so riddle me this, you clever people: why did Grokster come up with the exact same difficulties (failure to connect, demanding an upgrade be installed etc.) at exactly the same time?

...and it's worth noting that, although they apparently did have an upgrade ready to go, it took me two days to actually get it to d/l, and about 4 tries to install it....and finally I connected about an hour ago with the stats showing 700,000+ users online (more than I've ever seen, for whatever that's worth)....and immediately got in 8 or 10 fast d/l's....all in all, somewhat of an improvement over the old Grokster...

...so the upshot is, I don't know I'm going forwards or
backwards...is this progress or not?

Like you said they had an update ready to replace the 1.3 version of Grokster... So only Morpheus got caught with it's pants down...

And although it now shows more users you also see a lot fewer files... (Note: today it is much higher then the 1.5 - 2 million I was seeing, as I write this it is over 37 million!! - but users is only 450,000)
