Limewire (5.5.16) just stopped
 

I was downloading ****** at about 240kps when it went to zero and won't budge. The number of feeds keeps changing, but the download (and upload) rate stays at 0.

I'm using windows xp. help please

Perhaps the person uploading to you went offline. ;) Another time or day hopefully all will be better. :) One thing to try is to re-search as you did to find the file to hopefully try to find other persons with the exact same file so 'if' they have any upload slots & bandwidth available your download will re-commence.

Thank you my lord
 

I tried again, by deleting the old download and starting again, and it stopped in exactly the same place. I think it best to find another version. I did want the MP4 version, as it runs on my Palm pre, but you can't have everything.

Oh, maybe the person you were downloading from only has part of the file themselves & are in same situation awaiting for someone with the entire file to download from. This is often common for torrent files. But may also occur on the Gnutella network.

same problem here it says something about being sued

oh LW has a court injunction against their distribution of LW. It's ok, just click onto the My Files tab or do a search & that message vanishes. :)

Network is still running ok. But you may need fresh Gnutella.net file if you are having connection problems. ;)

Have you try to use LW connection FIX? If not take a look here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html

BTW, no improvements happened to LW after 5.5.9. After 5.5.10, all the updates were in reference to the auto-update feature LW incorporated. You can see from the http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...-5-5-16-a.html changelog. From memory of viewing the original changelog, I cannot recall seeing any bug fixes that were actually involved with the general use of LW.

All of a sudden My 5.5.9 stopped connecting about a week ago but was working fine with your fix for about 6 weeks. I have refreshed the Gnutella file as well as re download your LW fix 1.0. Any suggestions?

Lw 5.5.9
 

I didn't use this one but when I downloaded LimeWire Pirate Edition from David91 it installed, replaced my version and seems to work fine.I think I had the 5.5.10 but am not sure. Under the quick links -todays posts - sticky. On page 4 near the end is were David91 has the link that I downloaded. Have fun and good luck. Rich
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone

Which of File_Girl's fixes did you use? Use the first one mentioned, I heard it's newer than the RAR version & was updated 6 days ago. Else, could try the RAR one also. There's other connection suggestions.

Also, consider trying the LW Pirate Edition, it generally connects well in comparison to the original LW versions. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html

Thanx 4 the message. I have the new one of Lime Wire Pirate Edition. The 1 you show in your letter. It shows on the icon on my screen as Limewire 5.6.2
It started working great and it saved everything from the library without losing any.
HAPPY NEW YEAR down under . Rich:):)

Excellent! Great to hear. Happy New Year! Our eve was last night, you are probably having yours now.

OK, I tried both of these several times and give up on them (first listed and RAR). LW was working great with no changes made to PC (java etc.) I just keep getting "Limewire is connecting".
If I try the LWPE, do I have to delete the 5.5.9 first? I'm scared of losing music and video files. :sos:

Depends where you save your music. Hopefully not in your LW program folder. If the answer is no, then no problems. Not sure if LPE will install over the 5.5.9 version or not, either way not that important, you could always re-download 5.5.9 if you wished to return to it. We have links on the forum.

For Windows, I think the default download location for LW's downloads is:
C:\Documents & Settings\username\My Documents\LimeWire\Saved

LPE connects reliably, more-so than the regular LW. The regular LW you sometimes need to re-update the connection file.
