That's ok. Then make sure XP firewall is disabled & Zonealarm is properly configure to allow LW full access. You shouldn't run without a firewall, just make sure it's properly configured for LW to operate properly. See Connection problems? Check here first!

1. After LW's been open for at least 15 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

2. Downld a magnet link file from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us what happens. What speeds do you get?

3. Whilst LW is closed, do a speed test. Find one nearest to you here: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/speedtest/

4. Who is your internet service provider (ISP)?

5. BTW you should not use the internet without a firewall. Instead, configure it to allow LW full passage thru. See Connection problems? Check here first! (XP has its own firewall.)
