Connection problems resolved once sharing 100+ files
 

I dunno what the deal is with the 100+ thing, but I'm a new user as of last night and therefore had just four files in my Shared folder today. Connected all right when set up LimeWire yesterday, but no luck tonight - same problem as most people on this forum, connection button flashed green then went red again. Nothing worked, simply couldn't connect. Downloaded 100+ files from my iTunes (I'm running Mac OSX) and finally .... connecting beautifully every time. so must be something in it...
