Heya,

Okay, I am running Linux Mandrake 8.0, here's my sys info:
[redeemer@ToX redeemer]$ uname -a ; df -h
Linux ToX 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001 i686 unknown
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 2.7G 816M 1.8G 31% /

/dev/hda1 6.4G 1.6G 4.8G 25% /mnt/windows
[redeemer@ToX redeemer]$

Well, I downloaded limewire yesterday, then downloaded the 14MB Java runtime thing from java.sun.com - after a lil' while of moving the LimeWire contents in to the java folder, and changing the bash script to execute "./java" instead of "java", I got LimeWire to load. However, I get this "error" in my terminal, but LimeWire seems to load fine anyways:
Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]
Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific]

I guess that just means I don't have the font installed that the limewire applet likes to use, nothing major.

Anywho, my main problem is downloading. Yesterday, I managed to download 2 mp3s fine with no problem. Then it all went weird, I am either getting an error of "downloading from IPort ..." then it says "couldn't download". Or the other error is "Waiting Xs for X busy" then it goes to "couldn't download" - and it is like this for any file/filetype I try to download. I checked the help section on limewire.com and it says this may happen if the server is "Overloaded" (extremely busy) - but I checked with my friend (he has Mdk8.0 too), and he can download from LimeWire no probs.

This is my 'configuration' in under the options panel:

That's about it - I am not sure what is stopping me from downloading... I hope I have provided enough information here for somebody to help me out

Thanks in advance, looking forward to a reply,
