Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? Home 8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have?

Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? It said your test worked 11.

For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? Not sure about this sorry 15. What security programs are you using (antivirus etc)?

Sometimes there are ISPs with the same name in more than one country (eg Clearwire in the USA & also in Ireland). UK Hi, I have been using Limewire for over a year now with no problems at all. However, all of a sudden (Since yesterday) it will not let me download, when I click on a file I want to download it just says connecting. The status bar at the bottom says I have Turbo Charged connection Please could someone tell me why this has happened all of a sudden Thank you. Denise PS: I have tried deleting Limewire |

![]() It could be fake files you are seeing in your results... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...h-results.html It could be that you have connected to Fake Ultrapeers as well... Try this Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide Then click on the Hosts If you keep getting the same hosts over Tools > Options > Filters It could even be your ISP...As they have a Fair Use Policy in place... ::. Kitz - ISP Caps, FUPs Your Modem/router also has a Nat Firewall, that is why you are seeing the wall in front of the globe... These are your instruction on Port Forwarding... Port Forwarding for the BT Home Hub
