Getting back to at least part of the original query, I do have one tiny, insignificant rant: large files that dial-up users share. It shouldn't take me an hour or more to download a 4 minute song with my cable, but because the one who has that file has their 56k, sometimes it shows that as the DL time!!!
Of course, with slsk, there's no way of knowing this til the dl starts, at which point I cuss and abort. Limewire shows the type of connection you will be dealing with, at least, so there's no surprises and no queuing for half a day. |
usually the only time I curse it is when a user is being stupid or the whole network goes down. You can get a general idea of how long a song is going to take using slsk by looking at the users avg. speed. This gives you a good idea on their upload speed.. the higher the number the better.
I don't mind ques because if I'm que'd I just go look for other people who have the same files or for other stuff that I want.. I don't think I've ever been que'd for an entire album for more than a few hours. Which isn't that bad especially if it's hard to find stuff.
