Shareaza

I've gone through the faq and adjusted everything accordingly.

Ports are forwarded, SP2 patch installed successfully, firewall configured, advanced settings tweaked..

I have tried multiple different connection tests, all with this result.

"TCP: The TCP connection has been accepted by your computer and the request has been answered. This means that other clients from the networks can properly connect to you.
UDP: An answer has been received from your client! This means that Shareaza is able to receive UDP packets from the network.
Congratulations, everything seems to be fine and Shareaza should work properly."

No downloads will work at all, all say pending.

I even tried downloading the "Shareaza Install Guide" with no luck..

Please help me.

Make sure you have enough sources. This behaviour is common if the file is rare.
