What did Customer Service And Tech Support Say?:confused:

It has been 1 week no response.

Nada..if this continues it may be best to just delete the program. It used to be a great resource.

Delete Limewire Question
 

Totally Stop using Limewire and delete it out of the system ?:confused:

i left it on for 10 minutes and it connected to 5 bars, good to go!

i should mention that i uninstalled Spyware terminator and AVG virus, then reinstalled an older verion of AVG....then things worked. it just wook a while to get full connection to LW

ooops.......... i only get 4 results per audio search, no matter who the artist is; they are (.au, mp3, mp3 and an .snd file) none of which are downloadable. DANG!

Same here ...
 

Hi

I am getting the same result ... takes ages to connect ... then just the four unrelated results as above.

Anyone got any idea what the problem is, please?

Hitherto I have been able to use Limewire trouble free. My only recent change to my PC is loading XP Service Pack 3 (under protest, having postponed it for the year). My ISP is Tiscali who have recently been taken over by Talk Talk ... dunno if they are bu**ering about with things?

Thanks

Paul

TalkTalk are known to shape speeds for p2p sharing. I think however you can use LW off-peak hours. Check the links for ISP's known to BLOCK or Filter p2p or specifically Limewire (Click on blue link) under TalkTalk about known ways to get around it.

Limewire 5
 

Iam finally In:xeri_ok1ani:

STILL sol HERE. I don't think Time Warner (calif) has anything to do with it.

:wasntme: :)

Thanks...finally in. it just takes several minutes to connect and get full throughput :)

I have the same prob. I have been using it for a year. But then i got new internet and possibly it came with a firewal. I need help to get the firewall off, or how to turn it off. Does anyone know anything to help me? I really need to get new stuff! HELP!!

i totally deleted "spyware terminator; deactivated my AVG virus prog; then reinstalled Limewire. then reactivated AVG....It now takes about 5 mins or so to get my 5 bars on limewire, but it does work. (I'm on time warner cable west coast)...Turning off XP's firewall wasn't necessary (but you can turn it off thru 1-start; 2 settings; 3 control panel; 4 windows firewall) Good luck

Yes but what if i have vista?

ok so i turned off my firewall for limewire and i opened up limewire again. i waited for 10 min but it didnt do anything? any other suggestions?

try restarting machine and downloading latest limewire version...or delete current version and d/load and install new.

nope nada stil nothing ill leave it on for a while and see wht happens :)

mine still takes about 6-8 minutes to connect, but i do eventually get on....not like the old days when it took 30 seconds

ahhhh my limewire thing wont even go to the page it just says that the fire wall of loopback conncetion wont let it in, but my fire wall is off HELP!
