Yeah, uptime helps downloads, but I'm interested in uploads. Thanks though. I wonder if I can commandeer the family iMac G4 and see if it's a G3 problem.

BTW--the new Acquisition is just out, and has also reached a fee-sharing arrangement with Limewire. Yay! I hope this means we don't have to worry about one not cooperating with the other. (Here's the ref if you haven't seen it http://www.sciforums.com/f72/s/showt...threadid=17735).

Are you on a direct connection?

Also, I don't know enough to judge the risk on OSX of turning the firewall off. Could this be why you and Clueless find Acquisition so much better?
