also, if it's not the firewall, it may be that you're connecting to fake servers. razorback and the donkey servers are good. servers like sonny boy are run by feds, riaa, mpaa, and other evil entities in order to make ur downloading a little less easy (by having fake sources and stuff). and actually, an ip filter should be used too (to filter out evil entity sources that purposely give u parts of files that take forever to complete afterwards), but unfortunately, the linux edonkey clients don't support it. (you can read about these things in www.fucktheinter.net for example).
