Haven't you guys had enough of things labeled American?
(Seen our test results lately? Following our economic lead?)

AOL has been know to restrict traffic and block URLs.
Also MSN - would not allow me access to any LW download page.

I'd much rather buy American than Chinese...I'm pretty sure one of my cats finally succumbed to her kidney problems because of 'additives' from China...their addition of lead into glazing of pottery is criminal along with many of their other activities....and don't get me going on their practice of skinning cats and dogs alive for their fur they use in their clothing

An ip check on your ip posted here (if you posted from home) is CARPHONE WAREHOUSE BROADBAND SERVICES. Does that ring a bell? Or were you connecting via another service when posting here, such as your mobile?

LW had an old gnutella connection file. That's why we recommend these fixes http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html. I presume the newest LW update has corrected that problem.

AOL are 'throttling" p2p and 'blocking' Limewire etc - Page 3 - Legal Banter



I have another computer with Sky Broadband on it, so I'd recommend changing to that. P2P works on it, it's fast, it doesn't cost much, it's even free if you already have a Sky TV account.

With any luck Free Napster will be available in the UK soon... right?
