Up until yesterday, I have never had a problem with Limewire. I have been using it for a few years now. I upgraded from 4.16.6 to the newest Pro Beta version but was unable to connect. I followed all instructions in the "stickies" to no avail and then I tried the total uninstalls and deletion of the .Limewire files and re-installed it. Hurrah I was happily sharing. So I closed LW while I ate. When I went back to D/L another song, I couldn't connect again. LW was working fine, I could Browse users and search happily. But now it just won't connect. I thought I might have set my word "Content Filter" too strictly but I deleted all the Filters and reset to originals, still no connection. It just stays on 1 bar.

I have checked the "Connection" tab and it is trying to connect to "servers, ultrapeers" but to no avail.
My ISP does NOT block p2p (at the moment).
I can't understand how LW was working 1 moment then 10 minutes later, no connection.
It is though LW is not trying to connect to the servers for long enough (on Connections tab) because LW only tries to connect for a few seconds before refreshing the servers. 12 seconds at most.

Help would be appreciated
