I tried the bitrate thing - tried to download a 320 from a T1, same thing. Just says connecting, then 'Need more sources'. Every single b*****y time!!! It was fine until the day before yesterday, then suddenly it's just whacked out on me. I haven't done anything different...
I even tried going into the firewall thingummy settings that someone had suggested doing and I added Gnutella to the list, twice, like it said, but now whenever I go back to check it it has changed the ISP to the name of my computer and now I find the port LimeWire is listening on has also changed so I went back and still nothing. Just sits there in the download box for the longest time saying it's connecting, and then says it needs more sources...
