No, actually. I'm afraid I am a little behind and have missed a couple of things. I'm really just an old Gnucleus type. I finally did connect through sheer persistence and Gnucleus works just fine. I installed and uninstalled the program 2.0.2.0 seven or eight times and finally it went through. I never did try Shareaza. Unfortuately I am not a programmer so I can't contribute to Gnucleus but I sure wish someone could. It's a really fine program and I hate to see it fading away. To amend my ststement about Frostwire - that diid not come out the way I wanted it - there is nothing wrong with Frostwire per se, it too is an excellent program that works splendidly. I just find the GUI so busy as to be fatiguing. Gnucleus' GUI is very calm and straightforward and I like that.
Thanks for the reply.
