Hi all:

Just downloaded yesterday and no problems downloading, then all of a sudden nothing, I get "tried 17 host" and then "need more sources" on everything I try. I haven't changed anything or even restarted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi cactus52,

First thing I'd try is deleting LW's preferences folder when LW's properly closed. See point 3 here & also point 2 if you've used older versions of LW in the past (there could be a folder in either location).

This will kill all of your settings within options, you'll have to go back through afterwards & reset things. If you're not sure of your settings, go through LW's tools > options & write them all down, so that you can reset things later.

If you're still stuck, have a look through this thread for ideas & fixes to try.

Try changing the ultrapeers that you're connected to, use the hostiles list etc...it's all in that thread. If you're using Windows & decide to uninstall LW, start > all programs > LW & use the ininstaller from there. Also use your computer's search to look for all files & folders with limewire in the name & delete what you find. Then reinstall LW using the offline installer.

See whether installing PeerGuardian2 helps, there's a link for download in that thread. And here's the PG2 manual

If you're using Vista, there's only a PG2 Beta available...not a stable release yet!
