try
iSwipe <www.hillmanminx.com>
or
eetee <eetee.com>
note: limewire won't find much behind a firewall unless you tell it the external IP address, and open up port 6346 for incoming connections
i'm actually running eettee on my firewall box - is an old Beige G3 running 10.2.8 and using Brickhouse to setup firewall rules and provide a gateway for the rest of the computers in the house. More hassles to setup than a dLInk or netgear box, but decent performance and much better interface to setup.

hi brad - both are pretty slow on my old blue+white G3
eetee prefers to have a direct net connection - or a few ports forwarded to it - for all the bits to work. is still beta (0.9 i think) so i've had a few unexpectedly quits
i'm using the eetee version - i thought the LAN version was for internal P2P stuff - if not and it knows more about working with NAT/IPFW firewalls then i'll give it a go.
iSwipe is also slow - plus if it's doing bitorrent downloads, it wont do anything else. but works well behind firewall (both my home grown one and a dLink) - is running behind me hoovering stuff.
limewire was stable on my B+W but slow slow slow - was like using the internet on valium+largactyl.
i'll try the two RobST162's suggested - maybe they're a bit faster on my slower machines

ive got a cube and eetee works ok. There are a few annoying omissions but it connects pretty good through my wireless router and adsl modem. There is a huge amont of traffic through though. The lights on my router go nuts. Iwonder if this is because it keeps researching the networks. Anyones thoughts.

i think most of these apps were written for mac users with umlimited b/band 
if you tell eetee to ultrapeer it will generate mega traffic - also once you've found something and are downloading, close that particular search.
bittorrent will also generate traffic from re-sharing back into the network
i'm trying Acquisition in the background now - very nice interface, and unlike eetee, limewire and iSwipe, runs at a good speed on my B+w G3. however, it's only really searching the gnutella network - next up is MLMac

back on topic now <i got angry for a moment then logged off and took it out on the misfitting space that my radiator's about to occupy>
... has any of youz mac users had to reconfigure your firewall (be it a hardware router or another mac/pc/linux box) to get some of these apps to do everything?
stuff like gnutella's pretty easy, just tell it to push your exsternal IP address out to the nearest ultrapeer - but other protocols are not so friendly... eDonkey & openNAP i've not had much luck with....
i'm using Brickhouse to tune/configure the NAT/firewall plus provide me with a software router - but am resorting to leaving unpriviledged (spell?) ports open above 1024 - and that's ordinary security.
it's most likely that these apps were written with a single mac user with firewall and broadband .. but i'm at home with 2 macs & a PC so i need a router/firewall - which is currently my oldest mac (G3/300 beige tower) (which also happens to be our print server and bit bucket).
also - had any luck with bittorrent and large files (e.g. disk images, DVD rips)?
tia, charles

I have no idea about this stuff. eetee which was recommended earlier i think is working. The only protocol that dosent is untrapeeper. My isp is iinet and im using my router to logon through my adsl modem. i dont know if it is working properly or not my i seen to get a fair amount of files. It seems to find more files when i click on the search button again.
