Hi birdy and forum members:

Well I tried a number of things and finally Limewire is connecting again. Start-up for Limewire and reconfiguring the port-forwarding for both the firewall and the 2wire router.

Since re-starting Limewire, I now have a problem with accessing files that are showing 4 stars and at top of list:

Limewire states in the download section that the files are busy, need more sources, downloads part way and quits and so on. This has been happening with many files. Did an experiment of popular files and they just won't download. Out of 10 files, I only could download one.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem?

Thanks,
