STILL no downloading ...
 

i read through tripod's post and can't find anything on bitzi about the files?!?!? tried the lower number of resources thing and it didn't work.

any other suggestions? and yes ... newb to forum, but have been using LW for a long time without any issues, save for the occasional spam.

i thought it was my computer, but downloaded a song in just a few minutes without any issues? WTF?

regards,
DL

Hi deadlift

Recently there's been a problem with people not providing enough details about their setup - despite being asked again & again.

So let's make it easy for everyone...the details that we need if we're going to be able to help with complex problems are:


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 (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, 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. 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?
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?
Get back to us,
Peace.

Hi Friend.

It sounds like possably a corrupt java download, &/or L/W Prefs folder prob
First! close L/W completly, then Go,
START/My Computer/local disc C:/ Documents & settings/Your User Name/Application Data
Now Delete the LimeWire Folder.

Now! Go to,
START/Set Program Access/Change or Remove Programs,
now completely remove all versions of java.
Now! Use this Link to get (jre1.5.0 10) Use the off line installer NOT the (recormended) one,
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp[/URL]
You will have to reset your L/W options after.
shout if you have problem Feedback helps everyone
Peace.
