Angry Not working

I am using the new 2.5.5 on my Mac G4 using OS 9.2 here but it's still a bust. On a few occasions when it did connect, it found no sound files I searched for. Now it won't even connect using the new address you posted.

nice one, that sorted it right out, was beginning to panic as had just installed new version, and uninstalled reliable old faithful Limewire.

Default Two Things

First, the good news is that I rebooted the troubled machine this morning and all should be well. Hopefully, we will be removing any dependency on this machine shortly.

Second, for those of you saying that these addresses connect and then disconnect.: <b> Yes, that is the idea</b>

These addresses are not permanent connections to the network. They just give you other addresses on the network to try. Hopefully, you quickly get connected to stable hosts but sometimes, it has to crawl around until if finds stable LimeWire's or others. Ideally, we would have an orange indicator that would only go green after your connections are stable. When the network is working well, this generally is not required.

Thanks

Smile Re: gbildson's wisdom :)

Thanks for your wise words!
They worked, finally!!
I'm spreading the news to my Limewire pals.
I love Limewire!

now maybe someone can help me fix my Limewire Pro, which I bought
a few months ago, & was working fine on my Mac Powerbook G3, until it broke, &
I bought a new Mac Powerbook G4...since then, I haven't been able to utilize my Pro
& am using the free version, until someone helps me with this.
(sigh)

Default problem PROBLEMS PROBLEMS!!!

ok i have spent the last 3 days trying to get PRO to work.
finally i sorted thru all the bugs and got installed, and it worked.

TEMPORAILY!

all of the quick fixes work, but then fail. now i can connect for a few moments
then disconnect, or i stay connected but the connections are so unstable there is no time to get enough to download anything.

this morning i tried everything, finally thought a stable connection started and only built up for about 10 minutes, then boom, no more.

This really sucks.

what do we do!?????

limewire guys....is this gonna be sorted out soon??
