I'm noticing KAD struggling to get an open status and struggling to get sources for files, versions tested;
CVS-20080410
CVS-20080409
for instance,
number of nodes displays 600, number of sources found for ten downloads, zero.
after an hour its found 1 source for 1 file and only 3 people are on my upload queue.
now i try a earlier CVS-20080329;
open status is almost instantaneous.
number of nodes displays 200, number of sources found for ten downloads, all available, took 2minutes
by 20mins my queue has filled up and everything is normal.
conclusion, KAD is mashed.
