Can't download :(
 

For some reason Limewire won't let me download anything.... I've just installed it and I've tried downloading with it before, but I reinstalled my PC.

Why can't I download? got any Ideas?

Is your Java ok ??;)

yeah... I have the newest version..... What can be wrong?

Firewalls maybe??

Theres a great stickie at the beginning of the open discussion forum How to configure limewire for optimal performance
Go have a look and if theres no answer there come back to this post ..I'm not real clued up on this as there are so many factors that could be contributing to your problem....:)

Are you able to connect? Are you able to do searches & get results? If yes to both of those questions then see if this is the problem: License requirement (click on link)

If your answer to the 1st question was no, then can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Lifesaver once again :) thanks LOTR...;)
