If you want to try the older version then see below. I would completely wipe the latest version off of the machine before trying this. Use the LW uninstaller and NOT Add/Remove Programs option.

Limewire. Old Version of Limewire Download
And here for the Whole index of older apps. Old Version Downloads - OldApps.com

And another.
Download LimeWire Basic 4.16.6 - filehippo.com

Is there any chance that you may have a Windows Security Program or Firewall Running?? This is just a guess or suggestion that you may Look into.

I found this info about Shaw. It's Several Years Old but It might be something to go on. Wow what a bunch of Buttheads.

Shaw is censoring Internet feeds and lying about it - Boing Boing
