sorry guys but i haven't found anything that covers my problem. I have been able to use LimeWire on many occasions, but now my connection will not fully load which is not letting me download anything. I've checked my firewall, even turning it off to see if that wouldfix the problem, but still not making all of my bars turn green.

oh yeah and even though i had the firewall turned off for a moment, the firewall was still shown in front of the globe. What has happened?
