ok basically my limewire has been running smoothly for months. However, over the past 3 days its been going funny.

One of the times I loaded it took me through a tour as if it had never booted before, but after that everything ran smoothly. WHen I boot it now and start downloading, it stays saying "connecting" indefinetly. When this happens I can usualy solve it by completely shutting limewire and restarting it. However today this does not work and I cannot get past the "connecting" screen.

On average I am connecting to roughly 1 in 20 downloads. For instance if I am downloading songs by ****, I try to download one with say 60 hosts. Nothing. One with 70, nothing. Another with 60 might get it, but that will be it for half an hour so theres obviously something wrong. Only thing I could think of was a firewall. I went and changed it to "allow all activites for limewire" but still no luck.... any ideas?
quick reply greatly appreciated

thanks
