The fix is to just run FreeWire while you have LimeWire connected and FreeWire works perfectly. This works for me. After I bought LimeWire Pro I had a ton of connection problems. I even complained to LimeWire and asked for my money back since they just gave me the standard "You are on a modem and we cannot guanatee that anyone will want to share thier files with you" They don't give refunds. I also had happened to download FreeWire before I downloaded LimeWire Pro thinking it was the free version of LimeWire. FreeWire was giving the same problems as LimeWire that is why I bought the Pro edition. Well LimeWire Pro still refuses to work for me but if I am connected to LimeWire Pro and FreeWire FreeWire works GREAT!! I get almost all my requests. And if FreeWire starts acting up I just unconnect and reconnect with LimeWire and I'm up and running again. This LimeWire Pro is a big rip off as far as I'm concerned
