Unhappy New LW not connecting...

Hey guys!

I've just downloaded the new Limewire 4.18.5 and suddenly, I can't connect anymore. I checked in my Firewall (Zone alarm) and LW is authorized, but I just can't seem to get it "online". Before deleating everything I wanted to know if there was something else I could try...

Thanx

Try an earlier version. LimeWire - OldVersion.com such as LW 4.12 or 4.16
