So what happened with the magnet link? You said it started to downld. Did it stop or did you cancel it?

My guess is if you're getting a firewall with FW but not with LW, then they're both trying to access the same port in the same session. Change the listening port of one or the other. And even the connection port if possible. ie: temporarily turn UPnP off, change connection port & listening port to a high number. Then turn UPnP back on. I'm not sure if this will work but just a thought as an experiment. Since Upnp will tend to choose its own ports sometimes. You may need to restart the program for it to work. I'd suggest you do this for FrostWire since that's the one that's seeing the firewall.

The magnet link worked fine, it started to download but I canceled it. And thanks for the help so far, I'm gonna go try it out. Is there a certain number I should use for the listening port?

Okay, I just restored default on FW on now it shows no firewall, so now the only problem is I can't find any sources...

lol well that's now a upload & download issue. Beware of this Fake files in search results

To find music see How to find music

Haha, I did all this when I found out I shouldn't search both Artist and Song name at the same time. Ah..at least I learned a lot about frostwire. Haha. Anyway thanks a lot for all the help.

i checked with charter, and they said that they don't filter ports, nor do they monitor anything other than kiddie porn and the like. i tried LW again and downloaded several files at random. I downloaded my first try at an audio file and it worked swimmingly. when i tried to download several different video files, i only got one to work, and that was an adult file. I wonder if it's limewire that's the problem????? no one has mentioned if they are only unable to DL audio, video, etc.

AFAIK Charter do not block ports http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...t=33712&page=4 what they do is shape the p2p use of heavy users. They choose them as they become noticeable as heavy users of bandwidth. It comes under their fair use policy.

Perhaps you may have come under such notice & they shaped you just temporarily. Perhaps as a warning. With their devices they can not only shape the p2p bandwidth, but they can also block your p2p programs from connecting if they choose to do so. They can apply it to specific programs or inclusively. I guess depending upon p2p protocol, ports, etc.

I'm having the same problem. Mine was working fine when I had a cable modem, but then when I switched to a dsl wireless modem, I can't connect to limewire or frostwire. I've tried all of the firewall tricks, and I only get the first bar when connecting. I have no idea if my modem has a firewall, or how I would access it if it did. My dsl provider is verizon, when it was comcast, all was fine.

Look here to see if you have to [configure your DSL modem] too.

Dude the same thing happened to me. All i did was got to file disconnect. then i went file connect and it worked.
