Try downloading v2.0.2. I wasn't able to connect recently with 1.8c but have no problem connecting using the new version.

While the debate rages as to whether v2 is worth it or not, here is where you can find previous versions of LimeWire:

-Figure this -
the free 1.8 is connecting like a whiz. Paid version=LW2 only manages 1 net connection 3 hosts. woo hoo! What the heck?

I entered a bunch of host choices for LW2 to auto connect - it does nothing.

I want the stability of 1.8 with the 2.0 por feature set.

2.0 users with suggestions for getting connected PLEASE reply!

Thanks,

I downloaded 2.0.2 and never did get it to connect. I ended up here, and took the suggestion to get 1.7c, and now I connect everytime without problems. I'm posting this so others might be able to cheer up, and have a better day.

Thank you to the LW guys and gals, your efforts are appreciated.

Nice work, Errant Juggler. The older version of LimeWire (1.8) connects MUCH better than the 2.02 version. Thanks for listing the URL's for past versions!

Well, after 2.0.2 worked for a bit it also started to have problems. I turned off my firewall and every version worked fine so I updated my firewall software (ZoneAlarm) to the latest version and now I connect every time with it loaded.

The message here is if you are running a firewall (software or hardware) try turning it off and see if you can connect. If so, that's the problem area you need to address.

I have a Mac OS 9.1 running through AOL.
I downloaded LimeWire and it won't connect.
I have no known firewalls.
I open "File" and click on Connect, Nothing happens
What is the problem?

Thanks for the link to old versions! I, too, just paid for the 2.0.2 Pro version and the connection sux! Hardly any files or none at all. Even after reading the posts here I still don't get it (and I'm a technical type).

I get an error:

Could not find a port to use for incoming connections. Please specify a port from the configuration window.

Questions: How do I fix this? How do I specify a port from the configuration window?

I run a broadband connection.

Don't worry, we love limewire anyway, everything can't be perfect all the time.
