Running Windows XP and I can download just fine when logged in with an account that has administrator privileges but when logged in with "Limited Account" logon gnucleus just keeps cycling through connecting to hosts and never downloads anthing. Anyone have similar expericence or a solution.

Without meaning to state the obvious,but I will anyway...if you have admin priveleges why bother logging in with a limited account?on Windows 2000(which is more buisness orientated)and also Windows XP,Home & Prof,the owner of the software(admin)has much more access and control over their comp than older versions of Windows,so it follows that if a 'guest' is using that machine then they will not have the same 'privileges' as the admin...in your scenario,downloading.

For better explanations than I could ever come up with concerning admin rights,and all other things XP visit this forum...

There are good reasons for running as a limited user and only logging in as admin when you need to. The best reason is that since you can't install software, it's less likely that you will have malware/spyware installed on your machine without your knowledge.

That's why I'm reading this post, I was looking to do the same thing.

Wow cz6y48 that's an old post to answer to. Very good point though!!! Nice education for myself!
