All right, I understand now that it does not depend on your connection speed. I once had dial up when this problem started. Just yesterday I switched from dial-up to 112 kbps high-speed internet. All of them, no matter what type of file, became queued.

I made sure that the firewall was letting LimeWire (free version) through.

I have Windows XP service pack 2.

I have the latest update, LimeWire, 4 0.8. I've even totally uninstalled LimeWire and reinstalled this later version.

I tried cleaning and defragmenting my computer to make it faster.

I've tried Kazaa just to see if I could download on it. And I was able. Deleted it cause of all of the junk that comes with it.

Tried a program called WinMX, also for downloading music. It could also download music. No queques. But it's very slow.

LimeWire is more dependable than Kazaa or WinMX, though.

I didn't, though, know that Java was needed for this program. I've got the latest Java, anyhow. Are you sure Java could be a problem? What else could there be?

I've let LimeWire run to "give it time" to connect.

Still nothing.
