Shareaza keeps crashing [update: poss. due to ZA 5]

Its been running all night, not that I'm downloading much, but I left it running over night as I figured it would help test, still not a peep from it, running exactly how it should.

I think I'll just stick with the XP firewall. I do have a NAT router kicking about but they can cause shed loads of problems, I'll probably have a little play when I get time.

So it seems to definitely be due to Zone Alarm 5.....

If you decide you want to stick with ZA, instead of XP's firewall, can you get hold of an earlier version?

I still use the last 4.5 version, & have never had any problems like this with it.

Or, there are various other free firewalls...See this post for a list: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...30&postcount=1

Oh, & I've split the thread from the "NTL & P2P" thread by the way, as it now seems to be a ZA problem, rather than the usual NTL/P2P problem.

I'm currently using 4.0123.012 and had no probs, been running it since January 2003.
