Hi papagray. There is a huge archive of posts here and if you use the search botton above right you can seach the archives.
The user guide and faq on the Limewire site is pretty good, (possibly slightly out of date)
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/support.shtml
And at the top of each forum there are the forum rules which are more like helpful suggestions, and below them there are stickies which are considered to be the most helpful previous posts.
Have a good look throught them and then give us a question one at a time if you need to since our little minds can't take too much at once
Enjoy limewire!
I have been saying Limewire, but I have no idea if that is in fact what you are using
