Well, I've been on here everyday(since my LW wasnt working

)and I finally found the answer! MaMa, I know exactly how you feel. I hope this works for you also.
1. Make sure LW is completely closed
2. Follow the link
3. Click on "Audio" (upper-left corner)
4. Click on one of the songs
5. It will open LW for you and start downloading the song, along with any others you had stuck on "Connecting......"
I couldn't believe it!!! I dont know how it fixed my problem, but I'm not complaining.
Hope it helps everyone else.
