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

Question 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.
