1: while cox(suckers) denies it, they have been known to throttle p2p traffic...this may be the problem

2: you may be experiencing the effects of being DDOS'd by the paid henchmen of the RIAA/MPAA...this can be mitigated by using Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2
make sure that when you update it that it is blocking about 7 billion IP addys...if its only blocking about 600,000 then the p2p blocklist is empty and you should wait until a valid list is available...one trick when this happens is to go to program files\peerguardian2\lists and delete all of the files in that directory (while PG2 is shut down) then start up PG2 and update the lists...sometimes this works and gets the p2p list working and sometimes it doesn't...
