I upgraded to Limewire 4.16 today and after hours of trying to get it to connect all I have succeeded in doing is wanting to rip my hair out. I am at a loss because I had been using version 4.14 without any hassles. I have never had to do anything special in order to get Limewire to connect and see no reason why I should have to do so now. Did something change in this new version so that it has to be manually configured now?
