My Limewire Will Not Download Anything
 

I'm not sure when this problem started but all of a sudden Limewire will connect but will not download anyting. Instead of downloading, the words, "awaiting sources" or "need more sources appears". I've tried lots of things and I know how to configure my firewall and I am also using a linksys wireless router. I am using Windows xP with 100g ram 1g memory, A brick sometimes apears in my limewire window. Can someone please help

10. 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? Your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Old Problem, I ususally just revert to an older version but the problem reappears
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?yes

1. Be sure UPnP is enabled on your Linksys device: See upnp section here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

2. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

3. Have you checked with Comcast to see if either (a) you have gone over your monthly limit, (b) speak with a technician & find out if they are p2p filtering you.

Eveything was working great and now I cant download anything. I have unstalled and re-installed, still cant downlaod music. Can anyone help?

Check the option settings here License requirement (click on link). And go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Downloads & check that the slots is 1 or larger. Also be aware of Beware of Fake files in search results

I tried those options but it still will not download. It literally will not download. I have full bars but no downloading

But they go into your downld window right? But just won't start downlding. Stay connecting for ages & then need more sources. If that's correct then ... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...70&postcount=4 The files you're trying to downld may well be fakes. Are you able to downld a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

I understand what you are saying but any type of file I try to download gives me problems. I have been using limewire for a year now and ever since I upgraded to the latest version I have been having trouble. The files I am downloading are legitimate. Could you please offer further assistance. I tried port fowarding but I still have the same problem.

Go back to the old version then & see if you have the same problems. The fake files syndrome is reasonably recent. Do you use bitzi to check the files are true files?

Can't download, please help!
 

Literally, I get nothing. Uninstalled and re-installed, everything connected. I click on a file and nothing, I mean NOTHING happens. I've checked firewall, and read through these forums to try to find a solution on my own but nobody has reported "nothing" (no error messages, no pop-ups, etc.) I'm getting thorough searchs, but absoultely no response when I click "download". Please help! Thank you!!
