Frostwire and brickwall ?
 
Frostwire is connecting ok, turbocharged connection, searching for things and finding loads, so all ok so far, but when trying to d/load, it just doesn't d/load anything. The brickwall is in front of the globe, I've turned off the windows firewall and allowed it in zone alarm, but still the globe is there and nothing downloads. If this was you, how would you solve it please ?

Any help much appreciated.

Chris.

Could potentially be an ISP filtering against p2p programs. Not uncommon in europe, especially the UK and France.

Many thanks.

Anyone any ideas on how to solve the problem please ?

I would try to disable both Zone Alarm and the Antivirus software, and then restart FrostWire for see if it helps...Or try to run FrostWire behind PeerBlock or PeerGuardian 2, and use blocklist from iblocklist.com- just google for it and you will find it, it's free and easy to use as well!

Thanks, I've disabled ZA but can't find how to disable Avast ?

To disable Avast you must open Avast User Interface by clicking on system tray icon to Avast...When Avast User Interface has loaded, go to REAL-TIME SHIELDS and turn them off one by one and only disable them for about 10 min max at the time for every shield...They will automatic be turned on again after 10 min expired! Btw Avast usely is a good Antivirus software that works great with P2P software because of it's buildt in P2P Shield...

Many thanks for the detailed help. Just tried that, but still not downloading ?

But can you connect with your FrostWire to the Gnutella Network at all....And what OS are you use?

_Chris_ November 23rd, 2010 02:01 AM

Yep, as mentioned, Frostwire connects ok. Win xp pro, 3Gb ram and 200Gb spare on the hd.

The helps appreciated.

This could be you have only outgoing connection, but somthing tells me you have zero incoming connection there for no download...
