I'm having the same problem as yourself. I used to have an older version of LimeWire before I decided to again purchase the six months of updates. I am now using LimeWire 4.12.6 Pro and my Internet connection is DSL broadband and using Java 1.5.0_06 from my home computer. I cannot download anything, it just says connecting and sticks there.

I have emailed LimeWire 3 times however I still have not received a reply as yet. I have removed LimeWire from my computer and re-installed, this did not help me in anyway. I have also checked that my firewall was not causing any problems, this seems to be configured correctly. By the way my firewall is from Bullguard.

I hope that someone can help as this is very frustrating indeed.

Thanks
