I wouldn't be that surprised to find that many aren't giving Open Nap a
try - since there's no multi-source DL in O/N. On O/N, if you're not
careful, you might end up double-downloading the same file from the
same user - just through different networks. But rather than get a
single file, you'll be downloading two separate copies of the same
file. It's a waste of time and bandwidth, and probably pisses off the
guy you're downloading from.

Though WPN, just like it does when you're not connected to ON.

Always? Sometimes I browse someone and get nothing, even when WHOSI
says they've got files.
