I have no problem downloading. If the servers are available Limewire seems to give better results than Gnucleus. My problem is with files disappearing from the incomplete folder, or disappearing entirely!

I am using 2.3.1 pro. The answers to Nosferatu's questions are:
1: Have only tried min. of 2. This uploads fine.
2: NO! 10000 secs, and more.
3: Still too short.
