Okay, now I'm really ticked off. Turns out, for me, Gnutella will never work again.

Unless, of course, somebody else can help me out here...

Well if it worked earlier today, you are giving up easy. But why not try BitTorrent instead. Vuze (formerly Azureus) is a great client.

I don't know, it's probably just really bad weather... I mean, the wind is TERRIBLE where I am, and it doesn't show any signs of letting up anytime soon. I could swear, if the wind wanted to, it could blow my satellite dish right off the pole.

Because it's not just Gnutella I'm having problems with... Downloads from the entire Internet are extremely slow as well.

Of course, I don't know... Maybe the Internet itself is falling apart all around everybody. And, of course, if THAT were the case, we'd be talking WORLDWIDE PANIC!!!

I'll try Vuze and see what I turn up there, then I'll drop to an earlier version of Java... although I doubt that my version of Java would be causing any problems, if the ENTIRE Internet is being dragged down along with Gnutella... Maybe the deconstruction of the Internet has begun.

I guess it's all over... It doesn't look like LimeWire will ever work for me again.

So long, guys!

It sounds to me like no p2p program will work reliably for you. I am aware some Satellite connections are difficult to connect through for p2p sharing. And they usually have limited upload capabilities. Some satellite companies have a series of firewalls or routers with heavy NATing which affects p2p use.

I have been in contact with HughesNet, and they say they do not block any network, including the Gnutella network... Maybe that was a lie. Maybe they just started blocking that network when I first experienced the problem, and they're just denying it to save their skins. *******s!

But after trying everything and failing miserably, I suppose there's one thing left for me to do: Format the hard drive and start over again.

Maybe the problem's with a corrupt system file, and flushing the hard drive would essentially force it to work.

So I guess that's it, guys. See you later!
