Thanks for the link, mickjapa: read through all the posts and followed Lord's instructions....no cigar. Still don't get why others are happily uploading from me yet I can't seem to get a decent connection to download.......

GRANDPA: re: laundry list of information you suggest......in case any of the LW STAFF is monitoring this site: ........I sent LW "support" an email with all the info you list (except speed test, whatever that is). Got their "you'll hear from us...", automatic reply. Guess my hearing isn't that good as I've yet to get that response. Sorry for the obvious sarcasm traced with frustration......directed at LW, not you.

Here goes: Windows XP, tons of memory, dsl/cable modem (Webstar), Lynksys router, from home, LW 4.12.6 Pro, Java 1.5.0, TimeWarner Road Runner ISP.....

Did I mention I paid 60 bucks or so for FROSTWIRE (and their "accessories) after this started? Same problem, not to mention that FW appears to be a mere a LW clone, except its colors are blue and white. Called FW's "live" support re: problem.....he told me: "only download one song at a time"...."must use download arrow, not double click".....had me do an audio search for "love" and pick a song. *******'s "********"....ice age thawed quicker than that song was coming in. His comment? "Sometimes its busy" and lots of "really sorry you are having this troubles"...call back if you need assistance.

Called back...credit me with FULL refund please.......still waiting for that confirmation

Sorry for the rant......just that it worked fine before then WHAM! Just quit (downloading....again, people seem to be uploading just fine!?) Maybe its a lunar thing, a conspiracy or just me. Go figure.

Sorry about my last post, here's the update:

1. Make sure LW is completely closed

2. Follow the link http://www.magnetmix.com

3. Click on "Audio" (upper-left corner)

4. Click on one of the songs

5. It will open LW for you and start downloading the song, along with any others you had stuck on "Connecting......"


I couldn't believe it!!! I dont know how it fixed my problem, but I'm not complaining.

Hope it helps everyone else.
