Would someone please help me? I'm at my wit's end.

LimeWire has worked for me before, but in the last few months I've been unable to download anything. The only bar that I get green is the littlest one.

I've gone through multiple steps and used a lot of the tips. Everyone's hints give me hope, but I must be missing steps or having some kind of stupid obvious fixable problem.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.
