I was able to get connected last night and downloaded one song. I did that jar thing and unzipped the files in into the limeware folder, or whatever i read that someone else did earlier in the forum. However, today i could no longer connect. I downloaded limeware in July or August and just started having this problem in the past few weeks.

I am using my computer at home. I live in an apartment complex that provides internet access. I plug my ethernet cord into the wall and I'm connected.

Yo, Ginny. Did you do the "Recieved incoming..." ? If so, then what did it say?
Aside from that, have you tried deleting the prefs?

Mine said False, although I have the windows firewall disabled and Zone alarm is set to allow limeware.

I havetried deleting the preferences. Am I going to have to delete the preferences everytime?

i actually don't have the Pro version installed

Yo, Gin

Try disabling all firewalls just to see if it will connect.

Ok. Windows firewall is disabled and I completely shut down Zone alarm and was able to get a "fair" connection, then I tried turning Zone alarm back on and the connection dropped to poor...then about 30 seconds later it disconnected.

Am I jsut going to have to turn off Zone alarm when i want to down load? Is that going to put my computer at risk? Is there anything else that can be configured in Zone alarm that would allow me to run it and Limeware at the same time.

And...will I ever be able to get a full strong connection again?

prior to about a month ago I ran zone alarm and limeware simulanteously and never had a problem. So whats different now?

Worked great for me WinXP.
Have to delete EVERY folder once you find the .limewire directory.

i also have been having a terrible time getting and staying connected. i tried everything that has been suggested here but to no avail. one thing i noticed was that every time i deleted owner/limewire file, i had to go back and change my options because most of the files i am sharing are not in the shared folder. finally, i moved all the files into the shared folder and i have not had a problem since. it may just be a coincidence but may be worth trying.

v_amber61 do you want to tell us what your problem is? See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...?s=&forumid=29 & supply us all details incl. connection devices (modem/routers) & where you're connecting from.

So still no fix for the connection problem. I tried again today shutting down zone alarm and then trying to connect but it did not work. This is so frustrating. Maybe zone alarm isn't the problem if turning it off didn't not help this time.


Should i just give up on limeware? Is there anything else that can fix this?
