Can you give us a total description 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. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. 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?

the newest version i just downloaded

it said that , downloading from (#) host but the speed is 0kb/s

Could have several reasons......besides you haven't answered some essential questions possibly necessary to give you some proper advice...

If you try to download files with hundreds of hosts, forget about it, since those are most likely faked files. Try to choose from files with 10-20 hosts.

When downloading and installing Java, did you use the JRE offline installer? And before installing it, did you remove all other Java version from your computer??

One thing to do, if all the above failed is to delete the LW preference folder. Depending on your version (4.12. or older) they are named " LimeWire" and " .limewire ". The first one is located in the hidden Application folder under C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator<Your computer name>\Application Data.
To find the latter one, follow the link here. But make sure that in either case (or both, if you had an older LW version previously installed) LW is completely closed, i.e. also in the system tray (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire)

hmm about the JAVA

i did the online install but i get it from download.com so i dont know if it the right version for LW or now, could that be the problem ?

Okay, uninstall LW and all Java versions on your pc.
Then reboot.
Go here to download said JRE offline installer for your system:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Install it and reboot again. Then install LW again.
Hope that solves your problem.....

Windows Offline Installation, Multi-language 18MB that is the one right.


And about the copyright thing, it read other polls say something about click the wrong tick something and they cannot download maybe that is my problem. how do i prevent it when install
