Hope you're not trying to dwnld too many files simultaneously or force resuming a large no. of files, b/c both these things can play havoc with your connection quality. When LW is open & been running for a while (whilst connection quality is still reasonable) create a sample bug report (click here for instructions & sample image) & post back your result.1. Is it True or False? 2. What OS version do you have, 3. what firewalls do you have, 4. what brand & model of modem & routers do you use, 5. what type of connection do you have, & 6. where are you connecting from (home, school, work, etc.)?

Unhappy Same porblem

Pretty much same problem since version 3.2 or so. I can't get connected at anything better than FAIR. It might connect at GOOD for five seconds and go back to FAIR.
I have version 4.1.10 now. I deleted my preferences but that did not help. I am running Win2k.

Default Same porblem

If I look under Connections tab, Limewire is connected to 1 host using Ultrapeer protocol. Sometimes Limewire is able to connect to a 2nd host, but it drops it after about 10 seconds. It is trying to connect to other hosts that use 0.6 protocol, but it does not seem to work.

now i am getting an error message that says limewire has encountered an internal error and has a send button (which i have sent) I have restarted and it seems to come back alright but still doesnt want to connect for a while ..
I am wondering if i upgraded to pro would this take care of the problems or would they be the same with just faster downloads when i can connect
