Thanks birdy, for the quick and on-target reply. I was in the "get stuck connecting & then always need more connections" mode. And it turned out to be the "fake file" problem. First time I've ever run into this, guess I've just been lucky. Was searching on one particular artist, and tried unsuccessfully to download 6 different selections. But just went back in and played a bit, and got several more downloads with no problem.

Will read up on the firewall issues per your link.

Thanks again!
