We are going to need a little more info from you.

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (Eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (Eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your ISP provider? ( AOL/MSN/Comcast/Tiscal)
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. 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?
These details are vital if you want us to find out what your connection problem is.

* Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other. http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

12. Do This test, Is the result True/False?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...757#post103757 Is the result True/False

13. Do a speed test post the results here.

bought acount
 
On Dec. 27th I purchased the limewire for 18 bucks. Today I went to use it and couldn't get connected. I had to re-install the program again. It didn't work so I went to the web-site to contact the company and it asked for my email address. I typed it in and came back invalid. I then went to my bank account to make sure the payment was sent and received and it was on the 27th. SO how can I get a hold of a company rep and get this issue with getting connected fixed?
SOmeone plz email me at: reconron3@hotmail.com? Thanx.

downloads stopping
 
Ok I have had this problem for awhile where I'll be downloading at upwards of 250 kb/s depending on the number of files, then they all stop and I lose connection to limewire after 5 minutes or so, I have port forwarded etc and nothing works. I have done the test where you leave limewire open for 20-30 minutes and do the bug test and the result is false.

I am running XP with SP2
512 DDR
120 gig hardrive
D-Link DI-604 router
Speedtouch 510 highspeed modem
ISP: kw.igs.net, DSL 1 meg service
running javaw 1.5 or what ever it is
running Limewire 4.10 and Frostwire 4.10 aswell
Windows firewall is enabled
I have a nVidia network card firewall enabled
the test works

Wow! I read this ENTIRE thread and still can't get a "turbo" connection like I used to.

I have: Pent IV 540 3.2GHz HT
XP Home SP2
Alltel DSL (3MB speed)
SpeedStream DSL Modem
D-Link DI-524 wireless Router
LimeWire Pro 4.10.0
1 Gig Ram
250 Gig HDD (lots left)
Kaspersky Anti-virus Personal 5.0.388
Windows Firewall
I've deleted the .limewire file in Docs&Settgs user file. I've set all firewall and router settings for correct port usage. Most of the time I'll just get the "connecting" message, when I do get a connection, it's a "fair" one and I can't download from any source no matter how many users are shown! Please Help! Limewire has been the best P2P up to this point. I've used this EXACT setup B4, but since upgrading (and downgrading) I've been unable to connect.

There appears to be a bug right now in LimeWire go to the link below and see if it sounds familiar to you. If so they are working on it right now. One thing you can do is lessen the number of simultaneous downloads you are running to 3 or less that seemed to help with me. If you would like to they could use some impute from you.
