I looked at the link but I couldn't find an answer. I am using Windows ME, downloading with cable modem, also have ZoneAlarm. I have not used Bearshare or any gnutella client before. The programs I use are Morpheus, WinMX, and Audiogalaxy. All of them work very well. I do most of my downloading with Morpheus and Audiogalaxy, and haven't had any problem with either one.
