I'm connected to eDonkey and show a high ID and pass the Connetction test, but when I search for files 1/2 the time I get no results from eDonkey, even when searching the same subject matter. What's going on? Shouldn't I always get something from them?

You're probably connected to bad/fake servers and that's why you're getting no search results from time to time. You might wish to clear your eD2k server cache and use the server list on http://peerates.net to populate your cache again with new, working servers.
