CANCEL to abort, RETRY to Retry, and IGNORE to just pass this and move on tothe next file.. so i just clicked ignore. and i had to click ignore for 4 of these files mayb this has something to do with why it isnt wantiing to connect!!!

yes that's possibly the reason you are not connecting -- you haven't installed all the Limewire files -- suggest you uninstall using Limewire uninstall and not the add/remove programs -- you will find it here -- start -> All Programs -> Limewire -> Uninstall. -- After doing this go to your limewire folder and delete it -- you will find it here -- you must show all hidden files:- click on limewire link below (how to show hidden files in windows vista) C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire
now download/reinstall LimeWire

ok - I dont know why this is happening -- can you download/install a different version of Limewire Then re-install limewire using the offline installer...To find the offline installer, use the link below > cancel the installer window when it pop's up and then select the offline installer link...Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

hi brendan, well yr present version isnt working at the moment so I just thought to give a different version a go to see if it downloads ok -- if it doesnt go back to yr original version --- it's abit of trial and error here to see what will work -- give it a go and let us know how you got on
dont forget to use the Limewire uninstall and to delete the Limewire folder as I have said in previous posts
