No - I've still got major problems since upgrading to SP2 -

I have disabled the XP firewall completely,
Checked my Norton firewall settings are the same for Limewire,
Am not runing IE before or during,
Tried changing port settings,

The thing is, it does still connect to one or two downloads but not many at the same time (if any at all) and at very slow connection speeds. It is also taking several attemps to get an initial connection to the gnutella network (if at all) and then it is a poor connection.

So there's no black or white working or not working, just very intermittent.

I am very curious about this quote from another thread "Try not to force resume too many files or else it'll have an effect upon your connection & search quality"

because I have obviously been forcing a lot of files in testing for resolution to the problem. I would like to know why doing this could cause further problems, when in fact it is the most likely thing you are going to do when trying to fix problems.

Before I uninstal SP2, any ideas?
