I've tried using a whole load of proxies. I uninstalled and reinstalled limewire. Ive removed my preferences folder and ive tried using Tor and Privoxy. None of it has worked. It's so frustrating because it was working a week ago! My uni must have installed new software to prevent p2p.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
