Well I had Zone Alarm Pro and that causes conflicts with p2p networks.

I had problems with that one. thats what led me to outpost

NAT router = no more firewall!

pfffft... kazaa.... i've been on ares for the past year, it's good stuff. rarely do you find a song that is "corrupted" (except every copy of Stapp's "Relearn Love" seems to have that tracing thingy). only thing that pisses me off is now, on campus, they have a 4.25 Gb/week limit, which includes general internet usage and, presumably, downloading stuff like windows updates and a-v updates. bunch o' bull shit if ya ask me (and everyone else i know).
oh, and i thought i was doing good @ 5000 songs (people i know seem impressed by that number). but 40,000? shit.

Yes I know, It's like I've downloaded everything imaginable.
