Sorry, it may not be a constructive suggestion, but it may be the easiest way to fix the promlem(s), there are no more problems with 4.18 then there are with 5.0, but i will keep it to myself next time.

You don't have to keep it to yourself if you have a suggestion for people. The forum is for helping. But think of all the people who might read your posts... basic & Pro users alike.

Just remember that there are so many reasons that people may have connection/searching problems... bad gnutella.net file, corrupted firewall rules, ISP changes, modem/router issues, changes in location for connecting, corrupted preferences, wrong Java version & the list goes on.

Just for example... heaps of the people who come here complaining about getting no search results - turns out that they aren't even connected to the network (so of course they can't search)

It's not always as simple as rolling back to an earlier version. But sometimes that's the answer
