De rien Stief (Bienvenue in international French). The benefit of not having firewall is quite obvious. You can receive connections from firewalled hosts. This mean that you can be an ultrapeer for everybody. Moreover the greatest benefit is that your success rate for three stars results is much better since three stars results are often people firewalled that can't accept uploads to other firewalled hosts. As a result, the speed you get from them is often very fast (they upload less).

Salut et voilà I updated to the Linksys 1.45.6, Jun 24 2003 yesterday, and uploads seem a bit more erratic. Avez-vous noté quelque chose?

Stief, I gotta say you are synchronized!!! Really! I've had courriels problems (can't send more than few kilobytes courriels) with sympatico with firmware 1.45.6 since I installed it this summer. I thought the problem was on their side (as usual) and I even lost one hour with their lousy tech support this week! I've since done extensive tests (friday) and figured out that the culprit was the router! I've downgrade the firmware version to 1.44.2 ( ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/befsr41/ ) and no more courriels problems! I think the version 1.45.6 is for the befsr41 version 3 a model I've found on their website, hence the incompatibility.

Ah--merci! I was in contact with Linksys tech support (1-800-326-7114) trying to find out which firmware version I should be using. They emailed me the new update, and reassured me the v3 was also for my v2.

I'll downgrade--versiontracker comments were not good, and now I have to find out about "courriels" Like "packets?"

Merci encore une fois.

hahaha! courriels=emails en anglais!

Aaargh! The Sherlock translator and Google didn't reveal that!
Think we should appeal to some coder for a java application that will diagnose the quality of a gnutella connection?

et voilà--I get a GUI freeze when LW is in the background with the "About" or "preferences" window open, and then click on the dock. Jens-Uwe and Sam are on it.

The about and preferences issues on OS X should be all set in 3.5.6.
