I've been reading these messages all day, since that's all I can do, I haven't been able to connect to limewire all day. People seem to be complaining about lots of things, but I don't see many mentioning my problem. I've used limewire for months, since I bought my new imac, and been fairly happy with v1.7, but this afternoon (Sat, Jan 5) it would never connect. I went to the website (one problem I had with 1.7 was that the help never worked, I never knew these forums existed until today). When I saw there was a new version, I rushed to download it, it seems ok except that I still can't connect. There are no firewalls and yes, I am connected to the internet, although it is to a 56k modem, but that's been good enough for the past months.

Ok, here's the question I hope someone will answer: Is something wrong with the system today??? Why can't I connect today when I've been able to for months, no problem? Thanks from chilly Texas.
