Now, I know nothing about LimeWire, but I've been using it long enough to tell you something's up.

In the last few days, I haven't been able to maintain a connection with any hosts. They connect, but then *very* few messages are exchanged. The bandwidth rarely, if ever, gets above 0.0000/0.000KB/s, and then they disconnect a few minutes later, to be replaced by another host that does the exact same thing.

Also, in all the experience I've had with LimeWire, here's something else I know: you're not going to get a straight answer out of ANYBODY.

I tried http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ and it didn't work, so what am I suppost to do?

Ran https://www.grc.com/x/portprobe=6346 and I'm stealted, don't know what that means.

I've deleted my .limewire /settings file

I thought I made it so my firewalls are usable by LW.

I'm really running out of options and oh so confused.
