I have been a long time user of LimeWire. I recently tried using it and it says that it is trying to connect to the server. Well this takes forever and with no connection results. I have just downloaded the new version, didn't have the connect problems with the older version. I turned off my firewall, still didn't work. I am afaid to uninstall and reinstall LimeWire, I don't want to lose all of my files. I went into my security, I think I did it right, and excluded LimeWire like the troubleshooting said to do. I am pretty good with the computer, but this has me stumped. Anyone who can help me out, please feel free to send me a message at any time.
