I'm new to Bearshare Pro and have been using it about a week. I've been downloading now without too many issues, however, no matter how hard I try, my Firewall button still shows yellow.

And recently, I can only download 1 or 2 things before all my Status turn to WAITING. Does this have something to do with the Firewall?

Thanks for the help.

You probably can but (there might be some issues) it sounds to me like you have 2 active firewalls & that's causing the issue. 2 firewalls can interfere with each other. Choose one & disable the other. eg: If you have XP firewall & another, then disable XP's firewall (go to the control panel, double click on Windoze Firewall, check the disable box), & configure your other firewall to allow access thru the port you're using & with BS & I'm sure the colour will change.

It's easiest to downld files from those that have multiple hosts.
