Grandpa,

I am not new to Limewire. My older version stopped downloading. When I checked for updates, it was pretty old, so I purchased a new version. It still will not download. I did the license thing. I checked the firewall program. In the monitor, I can see incoming searches. I did all the tests you linked to and they came up that the test worked.

Download Speed: 2576 kbps (322 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 436 kbps (54.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

I can search and find numerous copies of what I am looking for, up to 114 copies at a time, available. But I cannot download any of them.

What type of files are you trying to download? There are many fake files on the network, mostly in the video and program sections. Fake files often have a high number of hosts listed.
