    think this could be a problem with windows XP SP2(only allows a certain number of internet conection at any time) rather than ripwave.

    jessy: I think you are right, because I use 4mbit cable, and Mine keeps dropping off when I download too much stuff (ie. have too many connections) any idea what the max no. is? So I/we can limit it?

    I have XP SP2 aswell and I set the Patch to 55555, It warn's but sure without SP2 whats the difference, If only Navini made a patch for the USB modem.
    Oh yea aswell after a while my connection just goes on me (while web browsing) but a IBB tech. man say's its a faulty modem, so I got him to send me out an ethernet one.

    yes this patch does not help my prob either. neither ethernet nor usb will hold for longer than 2 hours, and i am hesitant to contact my isp as Ive downloaded about 120gigs in the last week

    FuzzyLogic: same here, i'v even re-installed xp with sp1 on one of my hardrives and its the same story so its not sp2's fault, can IBB know what program is requesting the packets, i.e do they know if its opera or bearshare? cos i can download for hours from the web using opera but as soon as i start bearshare the conection is cut :mad:

    jessy, I used to have the exact same problem. I narrowed it down to Zonealarm firewall. I disabled it for a sec and found I could download of P2P and browze web at the same time...no probs. I use Kerio firewall now instead. All fine. If you do use Zonealarm give it a try. Sure maybe even WinXP firewall does the same although I never tested that.
