I've been working at fixing Limewire all day. My problem seems a little different than some others. I was downloading just fine. I had downloaded at least 6 music files. I can open the program just fine and even execute searches. The problem is when I click download (with 100+ sources) it never downloads...just sits down in the download area "connecting" never getting past 0% then finally times out saying "need more sources".

i answered these questions...

My Norton Fire wall is set up to allow LW full acess. My XP firewall is disabled. I even had both disabled for a short time but nothing changed

I did the test and got the message " Your Test Worked"

Downloaded event patch 4226

Speed test - download: 37kbps / upload: 114kbps

I deleted the preferences file too...no help.
