Problems downloading

[murasame2002]

I only encountered this problem recently when i installed windows 2000. Before that it was perfectly alright. As winmx 3.1 has the accumulative transfer, I usually choose files with many users having it so as to have a faster download.
However, for every file, not long after they started downloading (with everything fine so far, the accumulative speed can exceed 100k) suddenly almost every file becomes disconnected at the same time.
As for the rest, some also become disconnected with the message "file mismatch"
E.g out of 15 users,after some time of downloading, 12 get disconnected, 1 get file mismatch, and only 2 are sending me. Initially probably all the 15 users are sending me.
As a result, the total accumulative speed decreases sharply to 0 and the transfer halts there. When I click on retry on all the disconnected users, sometimes:
1)they continue sending to me, but the total accumulative speed remains a 0, which means I am not receiving the data at all.
2)Or the status can be "waiting for server response" and stay there until it is timed out.

Does anyone have the same problem as me? Or more importantly does anyone know how to solve this problem? any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Realised that I have not explained my problem clearly..
Scenario: I am downloading one file from 15 diff ppl who are sending me the same file, and the accumulated speed therefore is high. the file reaches 50% when 12 of the 15 ppl suddenly disconnected at the same time, 1 of them disconnected saying "File mismatch 001" and only 2 are sending to me. After a few seconds, there is also a possibility that the remaining 2 get disconnected. -_-

anyone knows of any solution? thanks.

i do know that winmx has serious addition problems. i can be connected to 5 people to get the same file, and each is sending me about half a kbp/s (i use modem)... but even though the total speed should add up to around 3 kb/s, the totalk only tells me it's transferring 1.2 or somewhere near there.

as far as i can tell, the only thing that is connected to this is the "time remaining". so are the people you download from still sending the file? or is it a total mess up?

they were sending to me alright until halfway when all of them get disconnected for nothing, out of which a few of them have the message saying "file mismatch"... I was searching in Yahoo for any similar problems, seems that someone also has this situation, only that the forum is in foreign language.

as for the total kbps is 0 while the diff ppl are still sending (this is a diff problem) they are sending to me i think, as the kbps is fluctuating... but i am not receiving anything. it's like i'm downloading this file frm 5 ppl, one sending at 5 k, one sending at 3 k then the remaining 3 sending at say 10k, but the accumulated speed is zero. -_-

anyone knows how to solve it?
