Which of File_Girl's fixes did you use? Use the first one mentioned, I heard it's newer than the RAR version & was updated 6 days ago. Else, could try the RAR one also. There's other connection suggestions.

Also, consider trying the LW Pirate Edition, it generally connects well in comparison to the original LW versions. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...e-edition.html

Thanx 4 the message. I have the new one of Lime Wire Pirate Edition. The 1 you show in your letter. It shows on the icon on my screen as Limewire 5.6.2
It started working great and it saved everything from the library without losing any.
HAPPY NEW YEAR down under . Rich

OK, I tried both of these several times and give up on them (first listed and RAR). LW was working great with no changes made to PC (java etc.) I just keep getting "Limewire is connecting".
If I try the LWPE, do I have to delete the 5.5.9 first? I'm scared of losing music and video files.
