Whilst LW has been running for say 30 to 60 mins, do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image & tell us whether it says True or False.

Update your java: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp

Do you use the Resume button on your files? Although it can be very effective, it's not wise to do it on too many files at one time. Otherwise each file will seek out every few mins & you end up having files that are queued for much, much longer than normal & can play havoc with your connection quality.

I don't know about firefox! There is such a possibility. Odd that you had difficulty with the java update thru firefox!

Have you thought about doing a system check & also defragmenting your HDD.

1 more thing,, the "Receive Incoming Session : False"

it changed by itsself,, before it was True,, now its false.. what i know is when it says false, it means that its blocked by a firewall. hmmm, but i dont remember changing anything to it. and whats the correct IP for the LW !? for the "force IP"
is it 6346 or 6348 !?
My listen on Port is 6346
and my force ip is 6346

does it matters !?

All port settings should use 6346. Leave LW on for some time before you do the bug report. Allow LW to settle down 1st.

You might want to updte your LW to 4.2.4

Here's ome hints on optimising LW: A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints.
