tried everything, still can't download
 

hi, I have been using limewire for a long time with no problems until about a week ago when i haven't been able to download anything at all. my searches return many results but nothing will download. i have purposely chosen to download files with many hosts (50 +) to test this but still i get the 'awaiting sources' message.
i have re-installed limewire, and also followed the FAQs and looked in this forum for advice but nothing i have done has solved the problem. i have never had problems until the last week and i haven't changed anything on my computer. can you help?
thanks

1. Who is your internet service provider (ISP)?
2. Try an experiment by downlding a magnet link from here & tell us what happens: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
3. See License requirement (click on link)
4. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Downlds & make sure the no. is one or more. Then go to Options>Uploads>Slots & make sure there's at least one slot open.
5. Consider deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included.) See if that makes any difference.
