OK. Well, you've tried the clean install, and know your regular HTTP internet connections are fine, so something is choking your gnutella connections. LimeWire uses java, and so does the broadband speed test, so I doubt Java is the problem. LW 4.2 connects fine for others, so it's not in 4.2. Magnetmix can deliver through gnutella at great speeds (thanks Urs and LOTR for the trans (sub?)-atlantic test).

Looks like we'll have to see what Verizon says.

Cheers
