i've been using lime wire for somtime now and now that the newer version came out i downloaded it and it worked fine until one day when i tried to download some music and it wouldnt download at all the file status just stays at queued and wont download or anyhting in fact i have lime wire open right now and its not downloading anything, i've tried re-instaling the newer version, and even instaling the older version, 4.10.5. Anybody have any help to give me?

If you have tried to download files with hundreds of hosts displayed in your search result, then you can forget about it. Those files are most likely faked files, which you won't be able to download. Try to use files with some 10-20 hosts.

If that wasn't the case, then get back and post some specs of your system:
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?

Sorry I Didnt Reply Earleyr but i was a bit busy

Three things you could try:
update your Java to 1.5.0_07 (use the JRE offline installer): http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
update LW to 4.12.4 (download offline installer): http://www.limewire.com/
delete the LW preference folder called "LimeWire":
This folder is usually located in the hidden Application Data folder under C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.<your computer name>\Application Data\LimeWire
You might also search for the old preference folder of a previous LW version (if you had one installed) called " .limeiwre " as described here (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire):

Regarding your ISP, I'm not sure whether Quest refers to Qwest (i.e. they are the same); but that will be of concern after you've tried the aboce suggestions.
