Won't download using Mac OSX
 

All of a sudden, the last few days, I can start LimeWire and run a search for songs, but when I click on the songs, I get a "Connecting" message with a constand "0%", and no downloads.

My Internet connection is at full strength.

I tried upgrading to Pro, but still the same problems.

I also followed the Limewire firewall instructions, but can't find Gnutella listed on that menu.

HELP !!!!!!!!!

which OSX are you using?

In mine you go to System Preferences>Internet and Network>Sharing>Firewall>New Port Name > and you should find Gnutella/Limewire (6346)

Otherwise you can, I imagine, enter it under "other"

Does this help?

I have tried exactly that, and Gnutella/Limewire does not appear in the field.

If it doesn't appear, you can add it yourself. Go to System prefs>Sharing>Firewalls & press the 'New' button. Then select 'Other' at the bottom of the list & add Gnutella/Limewire & then port 6346 in the port field.
As with Only A Hobo, mine appeared automatically. I don't know whether it's because LW is already open.

I was able to add "Gnutella/Limewire" manually, and included 6346 in the port number. I did this before opening Limewire.

I am still having the same problem. Getting plenty of songs in the list, and able to select one to download, however the download stays on 0% progress. Further, all songs are assigned an icon in my "Incomplete folder".

I am running the Pro version and have a "Turbo-charged Connection".
