lately, i've been checking out a variety of p2p clients (Kazaa, Shareazaa, WinMx, IMesh lite etc)...seems like i get plenty of hits in my searches, but my percentage of successful d/l's is something in the neighborhood of 5%. everything is mostly unavailable (or more sources needed, depending on the client) or endlessly queued. makes me wonder if it's just me having this experience (maybe relative to what i'm searching for?) or is the general state of p2p that bad? what's percentage of d/l's that you attempt do you successfully complete?
