Live Mesh Not Syncing (anymore)

Question
-
I had it running for a while, and had sync between work and home (both same account).
Yesterday I asked a friend to send me a file. He installed and shared me as readonly.
the file stub is created on my end, but never actually starts downloading.
I tried then putting a file on my home computer and today came to work and same thing, my work computer has a stub but it is not downloading. this is the same folder that 5 days ago sucessfuly moved a file from work to home. I will try today to see if work->still works. (home->work is confirmed not working, and friend->home is not working)
home: vista 64 bit
work: xp
friend: xp

Hi,
If you are willing to help us determine the cause(s), please collect Live Mesh logs from each of your computers and send them to lmprev@microsoft.com. Instructions for collecting logs are in an Announcement at the top of the forums. Are you syncing these files P2P (i.e., between your computers only - including your friend's computer, of course), or with your Live Desktop, too? If you could include that information in your email we'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Hi,
Since it's P2P in both cases, this may be an open issue we're currently investigating. If you haven't sent email already, please reference bug 24785 in the Subject line of your message. (If you have already sent email, though, there's no need to send another.) We'll let you know as soon as we have an idea about what's going on. And once you hear back from our support personnel, please feel free to update this forum thread.
Thanks,

email sent (did not mention the code you mentioned).
I sent both the cab file from my work computer and the home computer.
One mroe thing I noticed last night: I got at my home box live mesh to say "I am going to update now ok, click here"... I clicked and it updated. But it is VERY strange cause you guys have not release any update and I had this happen several times already (mesh updating even though I go to the site and see nothing about a new build).
