Connects to network, but downloads are always 'connecting'

[slammy]

Hey all,

I have a problem with using limewire at the moment. When I open it, it connectecs to the network with and excellent connection, but when I try to download anything, it will always say 'connecting' no matter what it is. There are plenty of sources, and my son has downloade some of the same stuff to his computer not 5 mins before hand (he did this to see if the file was bogus, or if it's just my computer). I am using Limwire 4.13.

I know that someone has already asked pretty much the exact same question, but from reading through that post, everyone has gone way off track :P. Can you please not talk about magnet links or bitzi or anything like that, I just need to know why I can no longer get a file to connect and start downloading.

If any more information is required, please let me know.

Thanks
