Hi mickjapa108,

Thank you. :) In answer to your question, my Java version is 1.4.1_01.

There is no red "brick" indicator in Limewire indicating a firewall issue; I am familiar with the brick icon, but it is not there.

I am not behind two firewalls. I disabled my Mac firewall, and I do not run any other firewall software.

muhctekdano, I have been both an Ultrapeer and a Shielded Leaf. Neither has affected my uploads in the past. Even if I were an Ultrapeer, as you stated, I can disable it, but doing so shows no effect on my downloads/uploads. I can also control bandwidth, but it doesn't seem to impact my downloads/uploads.

Thanks to everyone for your time.
