I'm also having a problem similar to this,
I've added LW as an exception to the firewall
but on the "read me first part" it said something about it saying it was permanently connecting.

I went to the connections tab to look, and there is nothing there
is this the issue?
On the tab preview in the read me file it had 10-12 sources there.

I also created a folder on where to save the downloads, not sure how that would affect its ability to connect, just though I should throw that out there since it was messing with all the presets.
