After LW's been open for at least 20 mins do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If False then you have a firewall issue. See: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml & don't have more than 2 firewalls active b/c they may clash with each other (remember XP has its own firewall.)

Some tips:

* Tip: Purge the Downloads Queue!

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* Don't use the Resume button on all incomplete files. This can have side-fx such as affect LW's connection quality. May queue your files for much much longer. This will also stress LW & your comp. If you use Resume/Find sources then just apply it to a couple or so at one time.

* A well set-up LW can start to automatically continue its dwnlding after it's settled down perhaps 2 out of 3 times you open LW. Optimising LW & Maximising Uplds & Dwnlds A (1st post only) & also Part B which is even better & last & least are search & dwnld hints. The latter one I've been thinking about re-writing for some time. That's just for playing it safe. eg- I show all speeds & qualities.
