Progblem: Searches are showing up fine, but when files are selected to download they never start!!

I have a Gnotella client and a AquaLimeWire client. Both have worked successfully in the past.

This weekend I have tried both clients, sometimes leaving download files for hours on end to start with no results.

They just sit telling me that the client is busy or has rejected my connection. I've seen this as normal behavior in the past and I've always been able to find a working host. This time around I can find absolutely nothing- - even when trying to download the most popular files from hosts that appear to be available!

PLEASE HELP!

Help yourself, try searching for "firewall"

Oh and you are not the only one getting the blue screen of death on a daily basis either.
