Which client are you using?

Hi!

I have the same problem - and I'm using Gnotella v0.9.6 - the newest one! Whats the problem?

Thnx & cya

The same thing is happening to me. I just downloaded Gnotella 0.9.6.

I can't get d/l worth a damn anymore either. I use Limewire 1.2 win and all I get are busy and PUSH requests.I wish all these firewalled users would turn off their firewalls their sharing is useless.It's getting to be worse than warez FTP sites

See if you are sharing any files. Some clients automatically kickoff freeloaders

I doubt you'll convince anyone to turn OFF their firewall. However, I'm firewalled and have had many users d/l from me successfully. It's more a matter of understanding TCP/IP and firewalling technology. That's a serious problem.

There are plenty of ppl out there using firewalls who don't really understand what they're doing. This could actually be a bigger security risk than not using a firewall. If you don't know how your firewall works, then you don't know how to secure it. If you don't know how to secure your firewall, then you're prolly just lulling yourself into a false sense of security.

Whether you're running Linux or not, i suggest going to:

http://www.grennan.com/Firewall-HOWTO.html

That documentation is for Linux firewall software, however if you don't understand the basics, it's also a pretty good resource for those just starting to learn about the TCP/IP protocols and what your firewall (any firewall) is doing.
