funkymarcus and other unfortunate 2.8.5 users:

I just did a little testing, and here's what I see.

Although I am getting a lot of hits, the ones which indicate that version 2.8.5 is being used cannot upload from me. They connect, upload, and then disappear, as I have posted previously. ONLY older versions can complete a successful upload from me. I think that points to why most of you can't download anything either, judging from what I've seen. The bar graph never shows any data being transferred. Eventually, it looks as though they just give up and fall off.
I would guess that my successful downloads are from hosts using different versions as well.

Sooooo, our well intended friends at LimeWire gave us all lumps of coal before departing for the holidays. We are scr*wed, and this version S*CKS big time.

I'm going back into OS 9 now, so I can share some files with the lucky ones who did not upgrade. Of course, even 2.8.5 users may be able to retrieve files from my older version.
