ah .. now I understand. You downloaded the installer but it isn't working.
What I recommend is this:
1. Download Java 1.6 "Offline" installer & then install it:
Download Java software from Sun Microsystems
2. Download the "Offline" version (non prefered version) from LW site & install it:
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire
Make sure that you choose the version that matches your operating system. If you are using Windows, then choose windows installer, if using Mac OSX, then choose Mac OSX installer, etc. After downloading the file, double-click to open the installer & follow directions.

BTW you can use LW any time of the day in Australia.

And welcome to the Gnutella forums. Some helpers on the forum also come from Australia.
