Without repeating myself what I've aleady answered many times, perhaps your spyware program is at fault. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=53422 Just search the word pest* on the forum using the search button above right & you'll see many references to this type of issue to spyware programs that don't work properly & do damage to LW & possibly to your system.

BTW if you're concerned about the loss of simultaneous connections in SP2 then see http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools & apply.
