punkprincess did you try the proxies. There's different ones to try, no guarantees but it's worth trying them all. Look at the earlier pages, particulary pages 1-3 of this thread for links to different methods. I don't suppose you have much choice of other ISP's to try. If you do, do your homework as I did before signing up with mine to be sure they don't block or shape p2p sharing. Don't speak to the sales or reception, speak to the technicians. In fact, see if you can convince your present provider to stop the shaping/blocking against your use of LW.
