I've got 1.38 gb memory, a 120 mb hd where the downloads are put, and I don't leave much on...occationally yahoo messenger or mail at night. My little, ancient performa powermac in the bedroom is often online w/ internet radio at night, but that shouldn't be enough to knock my big machine and lw off the network. My machine is a bit old and takes too much capacity to do things like convert movies and run lw. I've also found that VLC and LW don't always do well together so that if I want to watch a show on vlc, I usually have to cut out of LW.

A little while ago(this evening), I got an error saying it could not connect to gnutella hosts and that that was usually due to content blocking of port or firewall...but neither is the case unless the blocking is coming from outside my ISP which does not block. On a whim, I've not configured my firewall and made the specific ports open for LW/gnutella etc and I'm getting some things downloaded, but as before, we're talking only thousands rather than millions of files 'available' to browse, and around 100000 mb availabe rather than the usual 3000 gb I have usually gotten.

Couldn't really find anything for the modem at motorolla either cept for pc users who use usb connection rather than ethernet. It's otherwise plug and play it seems.
