![]() I was aware that Comcast was filtering BitTorrent. However, I recently (late March 2008) read that Comcast was going to stop blocking P2P. Anyway, I downloaded MP3Rocket and it connected first try - no adjustments needed. There you go. |

![]() This may be another issue with LimeWire that is perhaps resolved with specific steps taken to uninstall and then fresh install LW. (Possibly Java as well.) 1,000s and 1,000s of people are having big problems that appear to be 'fixed' only by the above mentioned steps... Have a look at > If LimeWire Will Not Load I know that the title doesn't seem applicable, but... ![]()
