*Finally* getting uploads and downloads and no 'lowid's :-) - Version: 1.1, 9/11/2005 01:28PM PST

First I couldn't even get it to connect with anything. So I made sure I allowed sharing (System Preferences - Sharing, etc.) -- which may have been overkill since I never had to play with that option in Acquisition or LimeWire... .
Then, after playing with the router (a D-Link DI-604) and opening certain ports, I at least got the search function to work - but wasn't able to really download properly or to let others upload.
I finally figuered out that my router has a different IP Address than my public IP Address that all those whats-you-IP web sites were telling me (the router address is found by opening the System Preferences - Internet & Network - Network - and it's listed either in the Built-in Ethernet description or if you double-click it to get the full information).
I went back to the router's web-based configuration page and made sure the firewall ports were open to *both* IP Addresses (one step for the router's IP and another step for the Public IP). Even though I now have a lot of eDonkey open ports, at least this thing works properly now.
Things I like:
The search is extensive and it keeps searching for the same file without prompting from you.
Things I'm not so happy about:
It takes a heck of a long time for most files to download (i.e. under 10 kbs) and I can't preview the files to check if I already have the file under another name. Oh, and the program got completely hung up when I tried to share my large folder of mp3s so I'm left with sharing a much smaller folder I had to create specifically for eDonkey.
For hard-to-find files, this has been the best P2P I've had. For more common files, I think I'll stick with LimeWire or Acquisition.
Hope that helps somebody.
