Strange behavior

[dareino]

I have Bubster 2.5. I succesfully connect to the MP2 network. Couple of things I noticed. First I see users trying to d/l from me, but they never connect, I keep seeing them disappear and reappear? My u/l shows 4/1/10.
Also I tried to d/l a song, I guess the person is offline, so it goes into searching state. Now I noticed MYSELF appear in the UPLOAD screen trying to d/l the song I have yet to download!
Any help will be appreciated...

You may have a duplicate of that file in your shared drive (though it normally should warn you of this) Most probably this is due to the fact it has not yet found any matches on the network and it is searching yourself for the file (probably just a bug) (For example, on Overnet you can find your own files)

The other behavour you mention is normal on the MP2P network do not be alarmned. I have noticed while downlaoding songs it will drop and find sources fairly rapidly.

Hmm interesting.....so this applies to all MP3 P2P programs?
I logged into Blubster just now, no incoming hits but its sad cuz I can find all sorts of songs but none will d/l (yes my ports are opened)..its in searching stage...
I was an original Napster!
