Trying to chat
 

When someone is downloading files from my computer, I cannot open the chat window. If they want to chat with me they can. When I am downloading the chat window will open with the host.

Why can I not open a chat window when they are uploading from me? I want to ask them about the files they are getting from me.

I am using Mac OSX version of LimeWire

Chat is very unreliable . If you get a chat window to open smile gently. If you manage to send a message and not get told host is unavailable, smile broadly. If you send a message and get a reply. Shout for joy. It depends on a number of factors.. like firewalls, routers, upload and download slots, and .... well Good Luck
