How do I get access to the attached jar when the message is posted in the forum?

For those who are having trouble connecting to the Gnutella network using LimeWire, we have a potential fix (as described in the previous thread). You need to delete your WHOLE LimeWire preferences directory. To do that, please run the attached jar file - for most users, simply downloading and double clicking on the jar should do the trick. If that doesn't work (or if the jar is opened with your default archive program), go to the first thread on this topic.

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, run the attached jar, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

Unhappy Connection Problems
Hi, i've been on Limewire for about a week now and have only had connection problems in the last couple of days. I haven't installed a Firewall only PAL Antivirus. I installed the jar as suggested which didn't seem to work. i kept shutting down and starting up and now i'm connected but the connection says poor quality. Pleas help, i'm quite clueless about all this stuff, don't know the jargon.

Did you try deleting your Limewire (LW) preferences? To find them do a search on your computer for limewire. Your LW Prefs are in a folder called .limewire Delete the entire folder. (FOr mac that's a single file called .limewire.
When LW is open, click Tools->Options & go to Bug report & click for an example. In the window that appears scroll down to the part that says: "Recieved incoming this session". If it says ‘True’ then LW has no problem with firewalls, but if 'False' it does have a prob.
For macosx that is LW's Prefs & Bug Report, & for OS9 that's Options & Bug Report (I think.)

Default help!!! at the end of my rope! :''(
OSX user...can't connect worth anything! :'(

Hey all...I've been reading the possible fixes for the connect probs and I have tried them all and nothing! I'm so frustrated!

I'm using mac OSX version 10.3.5

I can open it and it has the lil green bar that constantly says 'connecting' occassionaly it will go up to 'poor' for like a second then back down to 'connecting' although obviously i never can do anything.

I've tried deleting preferences, unchecking tips, etc. etc. and gone into system prefs making sure the port was available thruogh the firewall. I dunno...I need some serious help! If anyone knowing bout this prob. on mac osx could shed some light on this i'd greatly appreciate it!!!
thanks!

Unhappy Connection Problems
Hi Lord of the Rings

thanks for responding. I have deleted the preferences as suggested. when i went to reopen Limewire, the wizard appeared (not Merlin unfortunately) so i followed it and now appear to be connectd.

thanks so much for your help. may need to call on you again as i am dangerously inexperienced at all this stuff.

later
