Hello!

AOL might be the cause of your problem. I think I read somewhere that they where using Packet Hound on their servers from Palisade Systems that analyses network traffic and can cut off downloads on Gnutella. Read more about it here:

I dont know if it is true but it might explain your difficulties.

You could always try a different litening port like 6355 instead of 6346-6347 and see if it helps any.

One thing though if you where in the middle of a download and you suddenly find the download in Requery sent status then you should manually perform a manuall search with a phrase that matches the file name exactly and if LW finds alternative sources for the exact same file LW will attempt to connect to those sources and continue the download if successfull.
