I have tried everything I possibly could and still cant connect....I have no idea how to do the ISP thing. Please help me I am some what computer challanged!

Bingo! I found the solution to my LimeWire bad connectivity problem which was stopping any items being downloaded.

1. Close LimeWire and also remove any LimeWire icons that may be sitting in your Taskbar.

2. Go to your Program Files and delete the entire folder that's named LimeWire. Don't open it up - just delete the whole thing.

3. Click open your LimeWire shortcut icon that's on your desktop.

That's it. Worked for me.

Limewire links: (If LW 5 will not connect) (If LW 4 will not connect)(system details) (LW Clean Reinstallation Instructions) (setting up your firewall to accept LW)

LW links are changed at times to match the current problems.

It says "connecting" but it never connects. The same thing happened to me a little while ago so I ran Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk on all of my drives and wiped the free space. My LW worked after that. Perhaps it was just a coincidence because this time I went through that whole process and it didn't work. I tried re-installing the program, I tried deleting the preferences, and I tried disabling the auto-connect feature.

1. OS version? Mac OS 9.2

2. What firewalls you have? None.

3. How much ram? 1GB

4. Hard Disk space available? Plenty.

7. Where are you trying to connect from? Home.

8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? In the LW Help menu it says client 4.0.10 and nothing about Java. When I click the icon and look at the general info in my Apple File menu, it says LaunchAnywhere 4.5 Mac Edition.

9. Who is your ISP (Internet Service Provider)? SBC (At&T)

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said "Your test worked."

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? No.

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. I've been using it for a year or so.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface? No.

14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Waah?

15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)? Some people might not be aware that their security suite includes a firewall. None.

16. What country are you living in? U.S. of A.
