firewall connection

Sometimes when I run updates on my computer I my firewall keeps turning back
on and my music files can't be downloaded. How can I stop this from
happening?

Re: firewall connection

It is not a good idea to run without a firewall. You do not state which
firewall is running, so it is difficult to help you..

Re: firewall connection

What firewall are you using? Also, what program are you using to
download music files?
