All that does in delete your LW preferences folder called .limewire but the next time you open LW, it will create a fresh .limewire folder. See the image samples at the bottom of the link-page I gave above. Very easy to do. It has nothing to do with your downlds or incomplete files. But just make a note of the settings such as where your downld folder is situated so you choose to make it the same after you open LW next time. If it is the default location then nothing to think about.

Did you close LW before you deleted that folder? That's very important to do. If you didn't you'll need to redo it.
I've been trying to figure that out my whole life! lol

If that doesn't work, then, answer the above set of questions for me. Also do this test: Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

lol...no really who are you?

I'm a very keen user of LW (nearly 4 yrs) who tries to repay by volunteering help on the forum. I also find it challenging helping to solve people's problems. Glad to hear you solved your problem.

lol...well thank you...n good luck in ur challenges...yupp i been using limewire for about 1 1/2 years now...so i jus experienced this problem for the first time and now i now what to do if this happens in the future...thank you very much...bye...m going now

Yeah, I'm pretty new to Limewire, when i first installed it was working fine. But then i went off to college and got a different connection type and now it won't work. I'm connected to the internet, and i've opened the Gnutella ports on my firewall, i've also tried the deleting the .limewire directory and nothing is working. Please help.

Thanks.

I cannot connect. I've tried everything you have suggested. I'm in a corporate environment and may not be able to connect b/c of that. Can I look for all the firewalls on my computer somehow? The little icon at the bottom of my LimeWire shows up as having identified a firewall. what can i do? i've paid for this service and cannot connect to find one single song or movie!!! i need help!!
