Try to broaden your search to .mp3 or .mpg The network is still small. Also keep in mind that part of the reason that the program has developed so rapidly in this new area is because the programmer, Gwren, is putting out new releases and upgrades everyday and sometimes twice a day. You can get the updates automaticcaly through Java Web Start everytime you restart the program. The updates come from him straight to you and you are the tester.

While this rapid development advances the program very fast it has a drawback in that this form of live experimentation often leads to bugs. Those bugs are often fixed the next day and then the program works untill he tries to move it to a higher level. Then new bugs are found that need to be fixed.

The ants users are a very part of the programs developement. We communicate with him daily in the built in chatroom and via direct email.

I think you might have tried it while it was in one of those buggy stages. While this form of live experimenting can be fustrating, it has lead to the fastest developement of any p2p program i have ever seen.

what did you mean when you said broaden your search? tsafa1

He means you probably can't find whatever specific thing you might be looking for, because the network is severely underpopulated due to still being in alpha-testing and the marketing team being morons and so on, but if you do a search on something like just ".mp3" there is some hope of getting sample results.

Sorry the real ANts folks aren't paying attention to you, they are busy spamming their kiddie porn in the other thread.
