finally, i see someone has the same problem...all of a sudden, my limewire can not hold a connection. it began when i upgraded to 2.9.8. then i went ahead and upped to 3.0.2 in hopes of fixing it but it didn't...
repair permissions regularly and all that...
i have been a happy limewire user as well for quite a while, but as of the last few months, limewire has been unusable...
