I have to say Limewire can really confuse me. I followed many instructions on this forum while my LW did not connect which took me about 30 minutes then all of a sudden after sitting for about another 10 minutes while I researched opening up a port or two on my router I connected with a turbo charged connection and have been downloading fine ever since. Now I am almost afraid to shut my computer off in fear of it not reconnecting.

I am still operating with Windows Xp (the only real operating system)
and an older version of LW. 4.4 Pro

This has happened to me a few times before and would like it to stop. Any ideas?
