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 and is turquoise in colour. Please could someone tell me why this has happened all of a sudden and how can I get back to how it was before. Thank you. Denise PS: I have tried deleting Limewire and reloading it. |
