Thanks for the reply, I've tried Razorback 2.0 and DonkeyServer(s) No1/2 among others and still no luck. I'm keeping my search criteria pretty simple some examples include knoppix, linux, etc... Out of curiosity I've installed gtk-gnutella and it's claiming that I'm firewalled, but when I run iptables -L -n its showing a default policy of accept. I've also scanned my computer and am seeing mostly closed ports. So I don't think the problem is aMule anymore.
