crappy dc lately

[TYRRAM]

I dont know if its just me or my client or my comp but i've noticed in the last 3 months a serious decline in the quality of DC++ and I've been on DC for 3 years so im not a total amateur. My search results are much lower than before. I dont get anything even close to the searches I would get 6 months ago I've noticed this in particular with rare stuff. My dling speed is much slower and very unreliable. I used to set my client to download a few things and I could go to bed or work and when I got up or got home they would be there, even movies. I once dled a movie in less than an hour. but now i have to stay in front of the comp constantly searching for alternatives to keep the download going. I've noticed to that a lot of my downloads will start and then get steadily slower until it disconects. recently dled a new popular movie and its been 2 days now its still downloading. There are also a whole host of other issues I've run into lately that dont come to mind right now. Ive tried changing clients several times my comp is scanned daily for viruses and malware/adware I know how to manipulate my setting properly and whatnot. Im not stupid, I've a pretty good idea how to use dc and over the last 3 years I've learned how to fix many probs, but this time I'm stumped. I cant find the source of these probs I'm left to believe that the party is over DC is declining and the enemies of DC are winning. I dont mean to offend anyone by saying that but no one seems to be able to answer my question. Why is my DC so crappy lately ? and is it just me or are others noticing the same thing? Any help or answers would be much appriciated. thx TYRRAM
