In order to make this post less convoluted and complicated than it should be, It will be written as a list.

1.Downloaded 4.3.XX. Worked Fine.

2.Upgraded to 4.2.9.Worked Fine.

3.Closed LW for a couple of hours...On trying to restart it, it wouldn't load.

4.Checked these forums, deleted the prefs folder, still nothing.

5.Started PC today, Limewire starts up with a four Bar connection speed... yet only two files begin downloading. After a few minutes, the 'Your computer does not have an active connection...' error. Strangely, these two files continued to download.

6.Checked Firewall, nothing.

7.Checked Ports, nothing.

8.Uninstalled, Reinstalled, Now I have an 'excellent' gnutella connection, yet only one file is downloading. ( I do not mean one at a time. That file has now finished, and now everything needs more sources)

N.B. I have also noticed that while the files were downloading, Limewire still reported that 0Kb/s were being transfered. I can also still successfully search for files and people can upload from me.


I am running:

XP with SP2
Athlon 1.8 Ghz
2Mb Broadband via BT-Yahoo.


Any suggestions?
