Oh Krap when I hear of insight users ... please see
ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire Sorry to tell you but they target LW to filter or block! I feel so sorry for these users who get secretly betrayed by their own isp providers. If you can use bearshare without problem then it might be a good idea to stick with it. Though I have heard of insight also affecting BS after some time of use. I saw that on the BS forums & mentioned elsewhere.
These symptoms are very trademark of insight & many insight users have had this issue over recent months. Insight doesn't filter/block you immediately but after a certain time of use of LW.
