    Well I thought I give it another test drive after a year or so using something else from PC Tools, still the same.. If I install back PCTOOLS Firewall Plus download speed returns. Under Online Armor it's blocks stuff and If you change the rules to what it should be it re-creates them but they're not correct. Anyway I just thought I mention this here.

    I use OA on wireless and desktops that are not use in P2P way. Seems to work that way just too bad it can't work the other way.

    Yes, although i haven't tried it. The bad thing with is workaround is that you practically open permanently a port for ANY application. A bit dangerous.

    I am waiting for a bugfix version. :D

    Yeah, I don't like that either.

    If all our applications are specific as to ip for updating and port and are white listed it is not as bad, but a fix is in order for sure.

    What p2p do you use ?

    My laptop with OA and DC++ works well using WiFi (802.11abgn). Incoming TCP and UDP ports are properly handled.
