Why is it that when i download something from say Kazaa, the transfer rate starts high and gradually drops lower?

(audio piracy is a crime do not accept it etc etc.)

The person who you are downloading from are using more bandwidth doing other things. Other people downloading from them, them downloading from other people etc etc

I may be wrong. Audio piracy is a crime I do not accept

Fair enough. I was having difficulties downloading due to my low participation level, so i made the contents of my *ahem* 'Special Interest' folder. three hours later i'm up to 'Deity' level :)

Vic if you get the latest version of kazaa lite you have an option that allows your participation level to be at 1000 permenantly.
