If that doesn't work try the instructions below.


You will need to install Java and LimeWire manually First go to the first link.You can find Links to java in there Download Java to your hard drive by putting a mark in the save to disc box. Save it to my documents or wherever you save downloads from the internet. Do the same with LimeWire the second link will take you there.

Now with that done click on start then control panel add/remove programs and see if Java is listed on the list if it is uninstall it. Do the same with LimeWire if the un installers were not loaded you may have to manually delete the files. But in most cases this is not necessary.

Now click on the Java installer you saved to your hard drive and follow the instructions after you have completed that do the same with LimeWire.

Please post back and let us know if it worked. If it did not I will give further instructions on manually deleting Java and LimeWire.

A few more basic questions:

What speed are you cable or modem? How many firewalls are you running? Did you allow and config your SP2 settings to allow Limewire through is anyone able to upload from you? What type of files are you trying to download? Very large files will take long time to download.

edited added: does your ISP allow for P2P use? Could your ISP be blocking and or capping your bandwidth?

Well i installed both manually like you said, and it hasn't crashed so far so that is good....

i have 6mbs cable I checked and they say they have no p2p limits. No firewalls on

Im dl-ing a file with around 80 # ( high speed ) and i get connected to 7-9 but ill still get only like 2kbs!

I tried with other files and got similar results

Im not sharing any files yet... any idea why its so crazy slow?
