Make sure you're not firewalled. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); config instructions: Firewall configuration instructions

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If False then something's partially blocking your LW.

Try downlding a magnet link from this site & see what speeds you get: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
Just click on the downld & LW will take over. To see an example of speeds you can get from that site, see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...692#post138692
