The torrent support in Limewire sucks. Use a proper client like Azureus or uTorrent

As for the firewall thing. try posting your system info and maybe someone will know. Include how you connect to the internet. modem/router etc.

Ok, well i conect to the internet via a wireless router, well my dad has the wireless router in his room/office, im in the next room conecting via wireless. Im running my advent laptop on Windows Vista home premium.

I do remember whan i had Limewire on my old windows xp pro laptop, i had the zonealarm fire free firewall installed, and if i remember rightly it did show that i was behind a firewall.

All i want to know is it it reconmended to run Limewire behind or not behind a fire wall??

I know a fire wall is important as it stops hackers etc, but i do use the more improved builtin firewall whitch is in Windows Vista like.

Jme.
