I have a similar problem - BTW it seems that limewire and swapnut for some reason do not work too well with people connected via BT Openwold, are you ? - but the most frustrating thing is that for the last 6 days I have had a 7.0 MB file in my download queue. There is only one user of gnutella with this file, from whom I have downloaded 6.5 MB of it but for the last 4 days every time Bearshare tries to connect to it it gets a "refused".

The funny thing is, he/she has liberally leeched files off me, and still does, I can see their IP quite clearly in the upload window.

I am so frustrated by this failure to download the last 500 KB or so that I am getting a severe case of "Gnutella rage". If gnucleus can permanently block an IP, (unlike Bearshare, which only puts up a temporary block until you restart the program) then I will definitely move over to it and retailiate by disallowing all downloads from this individual - even if it means I will have to wait until someone else puts up the file I want, it does not look like I am going to get it anyway
