Well, thank you. I guess I should be more grateful, but I'm not more civilized. Who am I talking to and how do you connect to gnutella?

I'm guessing you are a new user on a Mac PPC using OS 8.6 or 9.1.1 with LW Pro 3.4.5 and a modem or cable, not much RAM, and sharing a few files. My specs are much like blackbird's, but he's probably sharing more files.

You may not have intended to directly insult peerless, trap_jaw and others who freely give of their time and skill helping the LW project (and justifiaby get irritated with emotional problems). Software can't be insulted, but the people who help it develop can. Volunteers rightly expect more respect than Sear's salesmen, which isn't fair either.

If your question is really "why do so many of my downloads get interrupted?", please make it more direct and offer more details.

btw--did you mean to insult me too when you told me to read the posts? If so, don't worry--I understand.

Cheers
