OS X security updates, Java & Awaiting Sources
 

I have been reading all these threads and am getting more frustrated. I have tried everything these threads suggest

I was running Limewire great! on 2 machines, one running os X 10.3.5 and one running os X 10.2.8.
I was in love with Limewire.

Then, I did the Security updates from Apple
2004-09-30; 2004-09-16; 2004-09-07 and
Java 1.4.2 Update 2.

Since that time all I get is "awaiting sources"

I am sharing over 400 files on a fast dsl connection and I cant even download one thing.

Please limewire, give us a solution! Please, please, please
soon.
Any suggestions greatly apprecaited.

ps, I tried to download the other version, as the previous author suggests... but for some reason my computer could not open or recognize it.

sure hope I can get solution.

Many thanks,

leo, this thread is almost a year and a half old!

Anyway, sounds like something with the system updates broke your connections, so just do a "safe boot" (restarting and holding down the shift key after the start-up sound) and a Disk Utility "Repair Permissions".

Do a regular restart, and that should get your system back up to snuff. Check the OSX firewall (System Preferences>Sharing) to see that it is allowing port 6346, and if necessary, use the LimeWire Preferences "revert to default button."

See if that works, and if not, post back.

cheers

Thanks so much for the quick reply.
Ha, old thread... I had not even noticed..., but am I the only one experiencing this dillemma?

You gave me hope! But alas, I did as you suggested but am still getting the same problem... Do you think I should re-install Limewire again?
Run Beta version?
I checked the ports- sharing-firewall and added the limewire some time ago... hmmm... maybe this is the problem... maybe I should have just left well enough alone...

Not sure what do do next..
Any suggestions will be most graciously accepted.

Thanks,
Leo

Hmmm--I'm a bit puzzled (those ideas should have worked). OS X problems like you described are pretty rare.

To establish whether your downloads are working decently, try going to a reliable source like http://www.magnetmix.com/index.shtml and download one of their free files.

What kinds of speeds do you get?
