The program works great! Unless you go thru an isp provider that slows speeds for p2p or blocks p2p or ports or a business that blocks certain programs or complicated routing equipment or going thru a university/school many of whom now block p2p, then LW works great. Don't blame LW for your own circumstances. If you want trouble-free use of LW then overcome or stay away from the above types of problems. Setting up a proxy is a last resort to overcoming these issues.
