you can try this..it worked for me...first, dlete all versions of limewire on your computer, be sure to check for hidden files (could be stored under roaming) and delete those too. once you have removed limewire completely, go to Download LimeWire, LimeWire 4.16.3 Download where you can download version 4.16.3 of limewire. once you download it, your bars will go from one to five and your connection will be very strong. hope this helps

I think I have a similar problem.

Limewire loads normally but when I type anything in on search I get the message:

Limewire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connected to the network.

It doesn't give any results at all.

I'll reinstall if I have to but I was just wondering if there was any alternative
