Can I just throw in that the reason there maybe some confusion around at the mo, is because different people use File sharing in different ways. If your'e the kind of person that has only one track you search for and download at a time, then maybe you won't encounter the "number of open connections" problem, but may run into the SP2 fire wall problem. If, like me, you have the Windows firewall disabled - but had 75 "short films" in your download view when you upgraded to SP2, then you may get stung as each download clambers for half a connection, and you get none. Just guessing.
