Downloads not working with wireless?

[MadHatr78]

I have been travelling a lot over the last few weeks. I have noticed that when I am on my wireless connection, my selected downloads will not actually download. I can connect and search (and I come up with lots of results), and select a download. It will move to the "download area" and just sit there at 0% forever. I have tried different selections of the same file, and still nothing. Items that were literally downloading yesterday on my hard line are not downloading today on my wireless connection. I do not have access to configure/change settings in the wireless router. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on my laptop with Java 6 update 31 and FrostWire 5.3.3.

Any suggestions?

When you are using wireless, especially traveling, you are at the mercy of their routers. You have no control over port availability. Try setting your port to port 80. Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall. Do change it back to standard, what ever that is for you, probably random, when you return home.
