Default If your pirate edition isnt working.

My pirate edition on the mac wouldn't connect. Applying the fix, and delete gnutella.net did nothing. I copied over the frostwires gnuetlla.net to the limewires folder and boom it worked.

So a little fix for those who do not know.

Thanks desroyer. Sounds like the mac fix needed to be updated. Have just done that & this installer-Fix should be better than the previous installer-Fix anyway. But 'great idea' to use the FW gnutella.net file. Sometimes one works for some people, sometimes other gnutella.net files work.

Lord Of The Ring should have updated his fix. What i would do is download frostwire and copy their gnutella.net into limewires folder. As stated in the first post. Should work on both windows and mac.

If failing the advice of the advice above. LimeWire Pirate Edition works best when it's a clean install. ie: delete the previous LW preferences folder (but make a backup of the downloads.dat file first.) Those pieces of advice & others are included here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...t-connect.html.

If you are not using the LW Pirate Edition, then check here, http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html see post #3 if you are using Windows. File_Girl removed some unnecessary & some now non-working items such as the AVG.

Let's hope some FrostWire users stick to version 4 & do not update to the upcoming FW 5 version which will no longer use gnutella network but only torrents. I had my party on what I thought about that in a recent post, I'd best not advance on that. lol
