1.) First, go into LW and click on 'tools' located on the top toolbar. Select 'options'. On the left, you'll see the option called 'sharing', hit that and click the checkbox for "folder is fully shared including all subfolders." Hit apply at the very bottom ALWAYS. 2.) Next, go to the 'speed' tab and select your speed: brodband or dial up. Hit apply at the very bottom. 3.) Go to the 'uploads' tab and make sure it's set at the middle (that long line that's towards the middle.) Hit apply at the bottom. 4.) Go to 'connections' and un-check the "connect on start-up" box. Hit apply. 5.) Hit the 'BitTorrent' tab and check-mark the "start automatically" box. Hit apply. 6.) Hit the 'player' tab and make sure the "use limewire media player" box is checked. Hit apply. 7.) Go to 'status bar' and check-mark every box except the last one. Hit apply. 8.) Hit the 'iTunes' tab and type in a shared name, such as " your name's limewire tunes." The buffer size should be at 2048. Hit apply. 9.) Go to 'view' and check-mark the box for "show notifications". Hit apply. 10.) Then go to 'autocompletion' and hit the check-box. Hit apply. 11.) Hit the 'searching' tab and then the 'Quality' tab below it and check-mark the "show all qualities". Hit apply. 12.) Go to 'speed' and check-mark "show all speeds". Hit apply. 13.) Go to 'filters' and hit 'keywords' and check-mark the "Ignore .vbs files" and "Ignore .wmv/.asf files." Hit apply. 14.) Go to 'advanced preferencing' and have the scale on 'always' - have the box above checked at "1". Hit apply. 15.) Hit the 'firewall config' tab and check-mark the "use UPnp" which is recommended. Hit apply. 16.) Go to 'proxy' and select "no proxy". Hit apply. 17.) Hit 'file associations' and check-mark both ".torrent files" and "magnet:links" below that, check-mark the middle button. Hit apply AND Ok. TIP: Keep all of the recommended options check-marked and ALWAYS make sure you click the apply button and when you're done click OK. Hope this helps
