It is probably ppl going ofline etc as you say you have checked with other users you have been shareing with so it must be working ok if you can connect and share and d/load from them
could it be that you are using tags and ppl are ignoring you ?
how many upload slots do you have open to others? as some ppl will ignore others with just one or two slots etc
like i said only users with few or crappy files are able to get through
you have to remember one mans trash is anothers treasure (so could it possibly be that you are being a little overcritical of ppls files as myself and thousands of others have no problems getting the files we want)
what type of files are you looking for and are you using the search facilitys properly(not meaning to be critical but a lot of ppl have only a limited knowledge of how to find the files they want) some not even realising that your search can be refined to suit the files you may be after
I see in another post you are using monitor
just the users i'm trying to trade with the leeches connect just fine. i'm using monitor too just to let you know
have you tried using winmx without it ? as i have found using this tends to hamper more than help also if not set up correctly this will also cause you problems
Another problem could possibly be your isp as depending who you are with things can get a little tempremental at times ....by the sound of your problems i suspect this to be the case either this or a router/modem problem
does someone monitor the system and cop attitudes toward certain users? because it seems to be done deliberately and selectively.
The only ppl that can moniter and cop attitude toward you are the ppl you are trying to download from or are d/loading from yourself nothing is done deliberatly or selectivly unless ppl usualy have a reason for doing so
Are you shareing several files or just a few?
Are the files you share rare or uncommon that ppl probably wont take an interest in?
I find that shareing a few popular files e.g a latest album /movie etc and most ppl are willing to trade if you have got perhaps some of these files i can see no reason for ppl selectivly cutting you off or ignoring you unless you are perhaps msging them in a less than friendly way
please dont take offence to the statements/questions above i am just trying to explore every avenue to try to get you up and running efficiently
