Thanks for your posts.

Peerless...what was your point on PeerGuardian please? Are you saying LW should not be used? (doubt it).....or are saying LW is under attack....or are you saying that I should download PerrGuardian, because it will clean up my connection problems? If #3, what is a good site to find it?

"Wondering Why"....My conclusion is derived from the incredibly high number of people posting the same lament recently. This number is way off the charts for the past two months compared to earlier. Also, when five members, in three different cities, with four different providers ALL go haywire at the same time, there is something more major going on than certain individuals inadvertantly hitting some "default" button, or the like, thus changing their own computer settings. I am not suggesting it is from ISP's (please reread my second paragraph again). What I am suggesting is something more is going on here than meets the eye. In my opinion, as a computer novice, it is not an ISP issue at all,,but rather something from the recording artists reps, or other negatively interested parties, planting a virus at Limewire. As I have heard that there are many virus problems at P2P sites, I will venture that this is not beyond the realm of possibilty. And I stand by that.....

Lord, I incorrectly did assume you were an employee of Limewire. I also believe you are a fantastic guy, to give so much of your time and expertise to this forum. But, the problems continue. How do we contact the "Powers that be" at LW, and find out if any efforts, beyond this forum, are being made to correct the obvious (and newish) problems we customers are experiencing? Thanks, goodkid1

PeerGuardian is something all users (IMHO) of the gnutella network should have installed and running when using any of the clients that access said network...or any 'public' filesharing network..

it is not LW that is under attack, but the users of the whole network whether they be LW users, BS users, Shareaza users, etc...

here's an example of what I see all the time when using BearShare in forced UP mode: I'll make a search, and very often the number of 'hits' PeerGuardian blocks are so numerous that it is obvious that I am basically being DDOS'd..and this is nothing 'new' rather something that has been building momentum for a while now...Macrovision, Cisco Systems Inc., fake emule servers, and FDC Servers.net,LLC are among the worst offenders from what I see in my logs...
