By the way. In "C:\Program Files\BearShare\db" you'll find "BearShareHostiles.zip".
Unzip it to replace the default hostiles.txt file with my bigger one.
That will shield you from the noisiest of the spammers and worms.

Can you tell me where I can find the model number for the card?

I've not used any of the pre-installed Sony stuff, so I'm in the middle of uninstalling that now.

I already had the "never become an ultrapeer" button switched off too. :-/

As for the BearShare hostiles thing, I can't see a zip file. There's a Hostiles text doc and another BearShare Hostiles file that when opened just brings up something about buying WinZip.

Cheers for your help

I've just sorted it out.

It was just that I needed to alter how many files and connections I could have! *doh!*

Thanks!

I'm still having on off problems with this.

When I'm downloading, when I hover over the host light in the top right corner it usually says Ultrapeer. Whenever I try to download something and that light's flashing, internet conncetion cuts out.

Occasionally, the Host light stays green and when I hover the mouse over it, it says Leaf Mode. My internet connection never cuts out when it's in Leaf Mode.

So, is there any way that I can stop downloading from ultrapeers and only in Leaf mode?
