I tried to download a file and it came back saying it needed more sources. The connection never moved off of the first bar though if that makes any difference.

And yes I am seeing a brick wall in front of the blue globe icon. The only firewall I have is Windows XP and it is allowing Limewire full access.

Anything else I could try?

**Edited to add** I downloaded the alternative, Frostwire, and I'm having the exact same problems with it as well. No connection even after the firewall I have was granted access. Acts the same exact way as Limewire.
