not connecting

[Max Power]

i just downloaded bearshare today because limewire didn't work for me.

it worked fine for the protected songs i downloaded into my library (i dont have or want a subscription), but when i tried to download some of the p2p (green cd) songs, it is just stuck on saying "connecting" the whole time and then all of a sudden i got an error message that said "unknown error" and it closed.

please help!



here are my specs:

os: windows xp
internet: Verizon DSL (slower version), Router/Modem in one (this is my main computer hooked up by ethernet)-Actiontec GT704WG, McAfee firewall, but i set it to grant access, disabled windows firewall
