Well I didn't need to phone them as the next time i tried limewire, it connected OK, WinMX too, so I was happy, yeah the downloads were slow but I only wanted a few tracks so I'm not complaining too much yet.
I just checked it again as I'm typing this and it still works. (possibly because it's 10am?).
I don't know whether or not it's because I followed this guys steps here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=32882 or what but it's working so mustn't grumble. I wonder how long it'll last though. :/
Oh, i also checked the "Do Nothing (not recommended)" box in 'Advanced>Firewall Config' could this be helping some? I have no idea.
