Sorry ... do you want personal service? Will you pay my airfare & hotel fee to travel to USA or europe to fix your problem? lol We do NOT work for LimeWire ... we receive nothing at all. We are like you, hobbyists p2p users. If you don't like LimeWire then use Phex.

Sometimes we get thanks for the help we give here .. sometimes we get people thinking 'we' are responsible for their problems. lol

Whilst on the topic monsieur305 , I see you are in breach of forum rules for not supplying your computer details as described in forum rules as a requirement for assistance for connection problems .. despite your 5 posts.

BTW how's the weather down there in georgia.

i am only frustrated with lime wire the company and anyone who gains profit from the subscribers money. its just not fair! so u can lol all that you please but in the end limewire and its associates are the ones who apprear to be gettin the last laugh . all the way to the bank! i appreciate anyone who shares their product knowledge but at this point im only venting my frustrations........ i am merely human.

System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Well you should have started with LW Basic first ... if can connect ok & like it, then consider getting Pro. LW Basic is Free.

there is no way i could have know that i would have ran into so much trouble. i can connect i just cant download or play anything. when i click nothing happens

It may be related to one of the issues here Cant download at all - nothing happens when I click download (click on link). Else it's a corrupt java issue, uninstall all java versions & reinstall, else or and, delete your LW prefs folder.

Ive tried everything.uninstalling LW and reinstalling.. uninstalling java and reinstalling it. rebooting, shutting off all fire walls and a/v software. I connected one night but wasnt able to download any songs.. when I searched nothing was found... and now Im back to not connecting.Not even able to see connections under the tab. i say its not anything on our end.. all different modems, OS, computers, I see it as a LW problem.

1. OS version? Windows Vista Home premium upgrade 32 bit

After suffering the same connection problems as all the rest of you, I stumbled onto a reliable and easy fix for my installation that might work for you. Just find and delete the gnutella.net file. LimeWire will create another one the next time it is started. Since finding this fix, I never fail to connect almost immediately after starting LimeWire. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. I'm now a very content LimeWire Pro user.

teapot,

where do you find that.. Ive looked and cant find it.. I dont have that file in my vista package

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Vista as I'm still on XP Pro Sp3. For me, it's in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\LimeWire. Doesn't Vista have a file search function ? If so, just search for all instances of gnutella.net and delete them. LimeWire will build new ones as needed.

Location for preferences folder in Vista is a little different: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html (click on link); also slightly different is the method to turn on 'Show hidden files & folders'.

C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\Roaming\Limewire
