Okay, I've spent two days trying to download and nothing works! I tried all the suggestions, like deleting my limewire preferences file, and changing the configurations on my firewall and I still can't open my downloads. I guess I have two major problems. First, my download speed is incredibly slow, despite the changes you've suggested. Second, if and when I am able to download a file, when I unzip it and try to click on the setup icon, I get a error message saying that the file, path or device can't be accessed even though I'm on the administrator setting. Somebody please help!!
