Ok. Windows firewall is disabled and I completely shut down Zone alarm and was able to get a "fair" connection, then I tried turning Zone alarm back on and the connection dropped to poor...then about 30 seconds later it disconnected.

Am I jsut going to have to turn off Zone alarm when i want to down load? Is that going to put my computer at risk? Is there anything else that can be configured in Zone alarm that would allow me to run it and Limeware at the same time.

And...will I ever be able to get a full strong connection again?

prior to about a month ago I ran zone alarm and limeware simulanteously and never had a problem. So whats different now?
