ya it&#39;s fixable though with a patch...look at the bottom (by the time u read this it may be the middle or something) of the thread where the guy says all his p2p programs are freezing for a link to a patch.

[abu_has_the_power]

sp2 has too many bad sides that weight more than it&#39;s good sides. no sp2 for me
