Having the firewall icon showing isn't going to help your downloading!! When you see the firewall icon, it means that somewhere (a software firewall or an internal firewall within a modem or router) a firewall is stopping LW from working at it's best. If you're firewalled then, chances are that other people can't download files from you. It can also effect your connection & so your own downloads suffer. No firewall icon is a good thing

Try downloading a file from here & see what happens. These files should download pretty fast

As WW asked before... who is your ISP?
Are you trying to download lots of files at once? Have you tried downloading just one file & does the same thing happen? How good's your connection (ie how many green bars)?

(sorry WW I didn't know you were on!)
