Thumbs down This *kinda* worked!

I deleted the .limewire directory, and now I can connect - which I couldn't do before - but I still get a 'poor' connection, or booted out.

This really sucks that I pay for a service i can't use. May raise some he** until I get a refund yet....

Angry can't *%$*@! connect

Tried your idea, but alas no go! it seems to attempt to connect but the quality doesn't rise above the first bar and then disconnects. i have tried everything including getting my IT guy to sit with me as we go through this thing and nothing is happening. what could be wrong? the server is set up to allow Gnutella through port 6346 and i have done everything asked of me in the setup of the program and through information gleaned from the website but to no avail. i feel like i should know what to do but must admit that it seems as though the program itself is at fault

I can't describe to you how many times I have deleted preferences and reinstalled even in a brand new user that didn't exist before.

The application consistently quits immediately after the user interface loads.

I keep sending the reports to your company any getting no answer. No solution would be different, but no answer is just LAME.

Dennis Burnham,

When you say you keep sending reports "to your company" are you sending them to Limewire? You do realize this forum is a users group and not Limewire don't you?

If you have Limewire Pro and want to contact Limewire go here -

Can't figure this out. I am able to download some songs, then it will not connect. Seems to be something with shared files or a simple setting I have wrong. Where do I find the "preferences"
for limewire?

That depends upon whether you mean the Pefs file or the Prefs window/control panel. The prefs file can be found in the prefs folder labelled .limewire (u might be able to search for it.) You haven't told anybody what comoputer you're using (it makes a big diff!) For window go to lw menu Tools-Options: & here are all your potential preference settings. For Mac OSX it's lw menu Limewire-Prefs. Did you read all the sticky's at the top of the section list of threads? Your answer could be in there! Also try other sections.

Well if it is not completely obviously my computer skills are
questionable to say the least. It's bad when I'm not even sure how to
answer some general questions.
The only reason I brought up the "preferences" is that in early someone
mentioned altering the "preferences" of limewire. This is what I can
tell you. Windows XP,
Toshiba, about a year old.....I know that is not much. I read that I
might need to change the setting on the bug report.....I did find that
under Option....thank you. Now I just need to find the post that had
the instructions. I'd give a finger to get this to work.
thx
