Four reasons you can't find your mp3

1. Legal issues. Record companies, authorities and ISPs keep bugging site-ops to take down their files or face a lawsuit. This in turn leads to reason number 2:
2. Files are moved, deleted and renamed because of problem 1 and because ISPs don't always allow popular sites. Some raise the price as you get more hits or your site uses up too much bandwidth. This leads to problem 3:
3. Dead links. Don't be surprised if the links you find are dead and broken. (Comment: Are problems 2 and 3 the same..?)
4. Busy servers. The most frequent and annoying problem of all, overcrowded servers strike just as you've found that special song. All servers have some kind of user limit, and you get a message like "No more anonymous connections allowed" or "Sorry, maximum user limit reached, please try again later."
