2nd: Let's by-pass using a browser. Go to Utilities folder & open Terminal. Type this in (or copy-paste):

curl -L -o LimeWire.dmg "http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOSX"

Then try to mount that image after it's completed downloading. You will find it in your user account folder. eg: OSX > Users > Lotr

In answer to #10
I went to the mager address you gave me. I couldn't download using either safari or firefox from the 2nd choice given but I could from the first ( http )
I got it to open and attach I got the usual interface however I don't get any results. This window came up

LimeWire is currently connecting to the network. Your search may not return many results until you are fully connectd to the network.
I went to file and connect was grayed out.

I'm now going to try the suggestion in #11

Thank you.

So at least you were able to mount the jum version & run it. Did you run it from the mounted dmg or drag the program into your applications folder & run from there?

It sounds to me like you also have a firewall issue. Can you also answer these questions: System details - help us to help you (click on link)

I followed the instructions and took the folder to the hard disk and ran from there.

I think all the answers to the questions on the link you mentioned are in my initial posting. Please let me know if I have left something out.
Thank you

Who is your ISP? And this one confuses me "yes I saw the blue brick wall" if you didn't have LW installed.

Did you try the 2nd download location I gave using the terminal?

My ISP is Internode.
Sorry I can't remember how I saw the blue brick wall as I answered those questions awhile before I actually made a posting.
Yes I did manage to download limewire from Terminal and am trying to use it now, however I got a blue ball with a red brick wall down the bottom of the limewire window. The status says need more resources
Thanks

In preferences in Limewire firewall connections the listening port is set at 28088
the router configuration
checked is Use UPnP (Rrecommended)
This is different to what the firewall in my computer says

The only firewall I have checked is Gnutella/Limewire
Port Name other
TCP Port Number 6346
UDP Port Number 6346

Also I have been experiencing internet problems since I got Limewire installed. Probably not related but it might help knowing this. The ADSL and Internet lights go off and the power switch goes red!!
Thanks

Change the listening port in LW to 6346. Else change the OSX firewall to port 28088. I'd try 6346 1st.

Good to hear at least you have it installed. That's a start! :D

Is your computer a G5? I presume with DDR ram it is. And is it a desktop model or ibook or imac, etc.?

BTW a firewall in OSX is "arguably" not really necessary. I rarely have mine turned on. Only if I'm browsing some possibly suspect sites will I turn it on. But that's me. Something about the mac community I think. Not quite as paranoid as windows users. :D

OK I have changed the LW listening port tp 6346.
My computer is a G4 iMac
Are you saying I have a firewall turned on and it isn't necessary. If this is the case how do I turn it off ? Also in the bottom left corner of LW I have the numbers 23 what does that stand for please. ?
I have downloaded something that I can't delete, in itunes and I can't find it in my shared folder. Can you tell me how to deal with that or where to go to find out.

Thank you

23 will mean how many files you are sharing I suspect. That's how many files will be in your shared folder.

Do you have iTunes set to automatically import songs? You can find it in iTunes if you arrange by date added; http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...89&postcount=4
& another good one to see with sample image is this one http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...88&postcount=6

For fast & easy access, go to your LW Library window, select Saved Files folder & press the Explore button. Sample image here: Using Library Explore button to access downld folder (click on link) & the folder will open up for you. Then you can do whatever with it.

BTW you might not be able to delete a file if it's being shared. You would need to close LW to delete it or else, unshare that file. You can do that by finding it in the Library window & control-click & choose stop sharing file.

To delete a song in iTunes, select it, & press delete key. Then you'll have a choice between moving it to trash or just removing it from the iTunes list. But if you do that it will still be on your computer.
