Ok, when I try to download files from ppl, i'd say 65% of them don't work, they just time out. I keep getting this message - They and you are both firewalled, download not possible.

WTF, I am not behind a firewall. Is this a result of ppl leaching and not sharing like in napster? I think there should be no option to turn off file sharing, if you are not going to contribute to the community then you don't get to participate. Simple.

Sounds like part of the problem might me your client, I would try a different one.
