Does anyone know of a LimeWire version which has no connection problems when you're running IP filters like PeerGuardian 2?

This is my last throw of the dice before I uninstall LimeWire as a hopeless case.

The instructions here which say Tools - Options - Advanced - Post is no good if you have no 'Post' option to click.

AAARRRGGG My friggin school is using Websense on their wifi. That aint fair! But that's also wierd too cause I can go to (I did it by accident) a hentai site and look at all their naughty adult images but can't download with limewire? What the heck! Isn't that kind of backward???

Any ideas or suggestions would be SOOO helpful!1
