Default P2P Lockdown

It looks as though there is a lockdown on all fronts here folks.

I've downloaded SEVERAL P2P apps and NONE work for D/L-ing anything.

I thought it was my firewall (using ZA) and messed around with settings, configs, etc., all GD day.

Unless there is a definitive answer to this problem thousands of us are experiencing (and I read none here or in any other forum as of late) it would appear that our ISP's have f**ked us out of our ability to do as we wish (or risk) with our paid internet connections as one person pointed out in a former post.

I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it? All of the P2P apps I have tried to "make work" are acting the same way: As though the ports are blocked by OUR firewalls... But they're not! I have manually opened these ports in my F/W's config and still there is no connectivity.

Folks, it is just my humble opinion in regards to the theory that "the powers that be" have finally pressured our ISP's into submission with possible threats of law suits as our ISP's provide all P2P users with the means of accessing files that may or may not be legitamately legal to distribute amonst ourselves as an alternative to sueing individuals like me (who have no networth or assets of any considerable value... like a business and property) to come out fruitless after a conviction in court... for example.

God forbid! I'd have to sell my blue jeans and walk around naked... That's something no one wants to see!

I am sure there will be other "means" of getting back into the swing of things, yet I can't help but feel sorry for all those people who got sucked in to paying for a "Pro" version of something their ISP's have blocked, banned, or otherwise turned off at the office.

As for me, I too am pretty choked about this. But in the meantime, I guess there is no other alternative than to suck it up and deal with it.

Good luck to you all!

Yonks.
