Since I updated to 4.12.6 I am no longer able to download anything at all. It worked fine right up until I upgraded to the new version. I've seen lots of other threads with people having issues but nothing seems to work that has been suggested...

Did you try the options here? License requirement (click on link)

Otherwise, try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire (sample image included at bottom of page.) & then follow the above suggestions.

Did the license thing, deleted the preferences folder and still can't DL. I do have a firewall but Im fully connected to the network, and unless something to do with the way LW handles firewals was changed I should be fine there. Before the update I was able to DL fine with default settings.

Any more ideas? I'm getting very frustrated =/

What do you mean you are unable to download? Do you mean LW is not connected & has red bars, or do you mean you click on a file to download & the file just connects for ages & then goes to need more sources?

Some information about your setup would help also: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...91&postcount=2

LW is connected and has full green bars, but when I click on a file it says Connected and stays that way for awhile, then says need more sources.

Using Win XP, Windows firewall, 512 RAM, a few gigs of space avail, newest LW version, Charter cable, I tried the test and it worked, Im on a wireless Linksys sharing the connection but no other P2P programs in use, LW worked fine before the newest version, yes I have the brick wall icon

My guess is your choice of files to download. Recognising fake files

ie: choose those with just a few sources. Modem users are safe to downld from.

This problem happens with highly copyright material ... especially very new material less than a few months old or so ... though it varies.
