Well, as long as this issue is limited to Launchbox, I'm not complaining. I thought it was a virus, I ran Esset and my system is fine, and I have a decent speed while downloading things. I have downloaded game images and screenshots from other sites, so it's not really a problem for me.
Still, I'm puzzled as why this happens. I've added Launchbox to my Firewall exceptions to no avail. And it seems everything that requires Launchbox to connect to it's servers or whatever, it gets the "time out" error. Got any ideas?
