after coupla days of try, retry... no go with the sygate pro firewall; all advanced setups and even "allow" status of LW in firewall worthless no downloads just corrupt files; downloads working only when the firewall is opted "allow all" which is literally opened fw; the test run with "false" value in defined field; tested which apps are running on fw, funny thing is that besides LW(which even if allowed no go) no java related apps are running - donīt understand why OK when "allow all" and no go with allowed LW; nevertheless, keep on trying...
