the thing is, I'm not a high use user. I used to be but frankly, i ran out of stuff i wanted to DL. I would get on there, but nothing came to mind. I hadn't used any p2p software in about 6 months on any regular basis, and hadn't used it at all in over a month. I can DL the any of the files you suggested, but when i click on it, bearshare does the DL. i don't know how to make LW do it. BS was shut down at the time, but it opened up. maybe this has something to do, maybe not.. the LW icon on my taskbar used to bee green and yellow when i used to software a year ago. right now, it's grey in the middle??
