In answer to #10
I went to the mager address you gave me. I couldn't download using either safari or firefox from the 2nd choice given but I could from the first ( http )
I got it to open and attach I got the usual interface however I don't get any results. This window came up

LimeWire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connectd to the network.
I went to file and connect was grayed out.

I'm now going to try the suggestion in #11

Thank you.
