sorry, i forgot to mention, i actually can't even find gnutella.net.

1st & foremost, you must find your FrostWire preferences folder; How to find your FrostWire Preferences folder (that link is how to delete them but it also shows how to find them!) Then open this folder & you will find the gnutella.net file inside. Drag & drop it onto a notepad empty document to open it. Then make the changes. Save the file. You must only do this whilst the FrostWire program is CLOSED!!!

See Charter listed here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

We've been getting a lot of Charter customers coming here complaining of the same thing.

If you've been downlding & uploading heavily then perhaps your ISP has decided you're doing too much. I do know Cox does this on specific users. They are reknown for doing this; find them on the list here ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire

If you follow the directions earlier in this thread then it should work on condition that Cox is not shaping/blocking your use of FrostWire. There's a more thorough change to make to the file in question if you see et voila's Sticky thread near the top of this FrostWire forum section.

Ya, I have done everything the sticky's said, and that helped it connect, cause now I have full green bars, but it still says it cannot sources when I try to download and it still says "enabling open information sharing" at the top tool bar. I do have Cox, but I have only download about 20 things in about the 2 weeks I have had it, and I have a friends that have Cox and can still download. How can I find out if the block p2p on my ip? Thanks.

Not sure. Ask one of their techs if they're honest enough or knowledgable to tell you.

Enabling open info ... is normal. Everybody sees that.

See what happens when you download a magnet link from a site: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

I cannot download anything of that site, whenever I try it says "firefox doesn't know how to open this address". Do I need to do something to fix this?

Ah ... you've tried several different p2p programs so probably neither LW or FW are the defaults to handle magnet links. LW 4.13 beta I think allows you to make a choice. But perhaps if Cox is doing the dirty deeds it's not worth bothering installing the beta.

I'll try it, just download LW 4.13 beta then try the magnet links? I don't think Cox has done anything yet, if nothing works I'll probably call then up and ask.

Okay, I downloaded limewire and was able to start downloading a link from the magnet site. What does this mean?

So what I got now, on frostwire I can search, but it shows I have a firewall up and on limewire I can search and it shows I have no firewall. But on both of them whenever I try to download something its always just says connecting or needs more sources...
