I use bearshare 5.2.1 but still the first light is always red it means that he hosts are not connected. Do you have any solution for that? I think my fire wall is not blocking the Bearshare since I also use the solution from the "New Trick To Make BearShare Connect To Gnutella!" thread but still it's not good and only connect sometimes unlike before. Before it was all good I had good connection and could download anything I wanted the first light was always green. How will I do that now? What do I need to download aiditionaly except the host.txt document? Also where I can find those hosts list up to date?

Or maybe I should do something else that I am forgeting about beside addint the exception to the fire wall and replacing the host.txt exe? Which is the best bear share version that is working without the port forwarding?

Will that be my solution? Do you have any idea? And thank you so much for your reply I'm sure I'm not only one with this problem
