Hey Guys,
I am beginning to wonder if there is a problem with Gnutella. I used another P2P prior to LW and when they were shut down, there was no message, it was as if the network just disappeared, so the program could not connect. I have been getting this "Starting Connection" since early yesterday. All my exceptions and settings are fine, just "0" connections showing. There were at least attempts, when this started, but now not even any attempts. This reeks of Feds shutting down Gnutella, just like they did MXPro 3years ago.
