![]() I'm sorry for making a new thread for this and know how boring it must be, but I need help downloading. I have just downloaded limewire today and I actually downloaded two songs, but then earlier today it pretty much stopped downloading songs. It never moved from 0% and was still "connecting." I tried downloading from hosts of 10-20, but that didn't work. Thank you for all the help in advance!!! |

![]() Try posting more specific info on setup first. Please try to answer all the questions. 1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all? Is there a brick wall in front of world ? 2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ? http://www3.limewire.com:6346 3. What are your details OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.) How much free harddiskspace ? How much RAM ? LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see) What Firewall you're using ? Modem/router brand & model ? Are you using portforwarding, UPnP or nothing ? (Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewall Config) What is your listening port ? (Same as above) ISP (Internet Service Provider) ? Connection type ? (modem, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ? Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ? Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out |
