Elsom,The same stuck on "Starting Connection" is happening to me This Morning..I used Limewire Just Last Night all A OK I have changed Nothing in my settings since Last Night..The only thing I have done this morning is download a few Automatic Microsoft security Updates I do hope there was nothing in these Microsoft files messing with Firewall settings. Blocking file share.My ISP is insightBB and up until now they have not blocked P2P sites..Hope we get an answer soon Good Luck. Not much sense contacting Limewire as For over 2 years with several Help Questions I have Never got an answer from their Tech department.
