 LW 4.14.10 Download Issue After returning from holiday vacation, I found that LW would no longer download. In the past, this was the result of my LW being too out of date. So, like in times past, I updated to the latest release of LW (4.14.10). However, the issue was not resolved and I continued to be unable to download the results of my searches. Then as suggested in another post on this forum, I deleted my LW preferences folder (under Windows XP). I then started LW back up and recreated my preferences with the LW setup wizard. This, too, did not resolve the download issue. I then tried updating my installation of Sun JRE to 1.6.0_03-b05 with again no success. I have no problems with LW connecting to other peers or returning search results. It just won't download any of the several files I've attempted. Often it says connecting then the number of hosts it has tried and then fails awaiting sources. LW shows full connection bars and no firewall present. LW has no problems uploading files to other remote clients. Any ideas? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Gary  |

| Try these tips... Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply... If that does not help try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it... Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more... (try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)  Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply... Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up... Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users. PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...
