i've spent several months of trying to get limewire to connect with no luck.

I have already posted my system info as requested before and i just recently tried a suggestion of another user which was to try a different p2p app. So i did and tried bit torrent and had no problems downloading files. So what's the deal with Limewire. I would really like to use limewire as bit torrent takes a long time to download anything since the files are all usually whole albums or several in one torrent.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Otherwise I'm going to have to assume that limewire is not going to work anymore. My guess is that AT&T is blocking ports.
PS And yes i have configured the firewall on my router just in case someone was asking!
