HI Rafi, I'm using the 500 settings.dat. It's to soon to tell if it's helping, but i do have one query. How do you turn on the arrows in front of the name on each torrent? There not there when I use my own settings.dat. & while I'm here what is the significance of "has head" in the files menu. most of my downloads say yes but I sometimes get a whole download without a head does this matter? regards
