Actually, I will post what happens right now. It also says it needs more sources.

Go to LW's Preferences>Bug Report & press View Example button. Scroll about 1/3 to half way down the result & look for 'Received incoming this session' Does it say True/False?

Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

You know you can stop the downld & re-select it to downld to see if it helps. Or try Resume on it.

Okay, it has false next to it. And I have stopped the dl and restarted with a dif dl.....and it did nothing.

Blocked incoming generally means a firewall. It could be due to a softw firewall or a hardware device such as modem/router, etc. The way the network & connection is set up probably.

I'm not sure from here. Might have to pass you to Stief to deal with. He might have some ideas.

Just one last thought, temporarily change your port for listening to port 80. LW Prefs>Advanced>Firewalls. (Don't forget to press Apply.) And repeat the above experiment.

My only other thought is to use a proxy.

Do you mean port 6380?

Gee that was quick lol No port 80. It's a port generally used for http purposes such as browsing. But then you could experiment with a no. of port no.'s such as a high no. like 20282

I will try that.....but nothing seems to be working.

Nothing is really working. I need help....This is why I hate Macs so much. I have barely any idea on how to work with them.

Some mac users feel the same about pc's. lol It's what you're used to I guess. This issue is not due to the mac anyway AFAIK. Unless you have the mac firewall active. See http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

As I said I'm out of ideas. I've sent a pm to Stief but it could be a day or so before he responds. If you're willing to try a proxy then see A Fix for those whose ISP's block Limewire pages 1 & 2 which has a link to alternative instructions. Another Insight proxy solution, http proxies, A Successful http Proxy Solution

This is why I hate these posts so much. They blame the wrong things, provide wrong information, and haven't read the rules about what information is helpful. I have no idea even what LW version is being used here. Sheesh.

Oh well, help has been asked, but I can only reinforce what you've already suggested LOTR.

No incoming connections are because there is a block in the network, probably because many schools block upstream somewhere.

So, who controls that? Ask your school's network admin why you can't download. It's a networking problem. Actually, I'm surprised LW even managed to connect to others to allow search results to get back to the machines. Does the admin tells you there are no restrictions on downloads?

For a reliable test, get the admin to try any of the free and legitimate files from http://magnetmix.com/video.shtml

If the video of "The Scene" won't download, try the "more info" link and find the web download link as a comparison.

Let us know what you find (version and other info, admin's answer, magnetmix comparison results).
