...and what's up w/Napster?

milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM I'm just wonderin' why, despite the fact that there are literally twice the users on any given Napster server as there were just a month ago, I've been getting like one-tenth the results. This has been goin' on now for about 2 or 3 weeks and it's been makin' me think that they've already begun their transformation. Can anyone tell me what's goin' on?
Fletch	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:40 PM it's been makin' me think that they've already begun their transformation. we haven't. Can anyone tell me what's goin' on? other than denying the above? nope.
milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM blues.napster.com or country.napster.com? For a few weeks now, I've been forced to keep Napigator closed and accept whatever server Napster gives me automatically when I connect." id="206">Okay, then, if nothin's changed, then why has it become futile to login directly w/Napigator to any of the Napster servers, like blues.napster.com or country.napster.com? For a few weeks now, I've been forced to keep Napigator closed and accept whatever server Napster gives me automatically when I connect.
milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM Okay, lemme retract half of that last reply. The Napster network servers using port 8888 are currently okay, but those using 7777 are still not connecting. ...and, though I believe what'choo say, I'll still stand by what I say about gettin' only a small fraction of the hits and uploads I was gettin' just a month ago despite the large increase in users.
Chad	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM Milla.. You are getting a fraction of the uploads because there are more users to go around. The lack of hits because most of the people on Napster are people who are uh.. less refined in thier music choices, and are being spread all around the servers.
Fletch	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:40 PM The Napster network servers using port 8888 are currently okay, but those using 7777 are still not connecting. if there aren't any daemons listing on 7777, you can't connect to 7777.
Fletch	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM oops. s/listing/listening hey, angelo, how 'bout an edit comment option? (or at least a preview before posting one
milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM Okay, but Mr. Fletch, that fact remains that I'm getting a mere fraction of the hits and uploads I was gettin' just a short time ago. (Chad, I would buy what'choo say if it were only half of what it useta be instead of like one-tenth; for every 100 hits, I get like 10 now. ...so it's not just uploads.)
milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM ...and what're daemons? (I know my ignorance screams out w/every question?)

milladrive	Date: October 21, 2001 @ 11:41 PM Thanx. I guess it _was_ pretty silly o'me fer not lookin' it up myself. :/
