- total noob

Well I set it up and everything looks ok. I went to search for files and when i found one i wanted i clicked download. Well nothing happened.

I looked at the top and it says Enabling Open Information Sharing. That's ok I beileve, but it's been like that for about 6 hours now. Isn't it suppoed to connect to a server or something?

Please let me know.

I happen to be having the same problem..
I've been using limewire for about 2 days now and it's been running fine...
until recently just like Monkeyjunior said I am able to search and find the files that I want but when I click the download button nothing happens..
I tried checking on the fire wall but limewire was among the exceptions for access by the internet..
and then I even created the Gnutella ports but It still didn't work..
I know that I can't be the problem with fire wall because when I checked the monitor via lime wire it shows that files are being uploaded...
people are accessing my network so the fire is not the obstacle..
help plizzzzzzzzzzz
anybody with a clue would be highly appreciated
