i have vista and all i do is
open limewire
close it the window(the program is still running)
then sleep the computer
then u just move the mouse it goes on again and limewire will start connecting
it works for me i dont know why please answer back if it works

That's a type of sleep mode. LW simply rests an ultrapeer spot because it obviously is not needed if you are not searching.

Can someone maybe help me? My lime wire has stopped connecting for some reason. It was fine one day the next nothin. I loaded the new version thinking maybe that was the problem still nada... my fire wall is set to allow limewire I can't seem to figure out why its being so stuborn all of a sudden...

hello, i have just downloaded a pirate limewire, everything went fine all came up properly finished downloading, the program came up an in the bottom left hand corner it says connecting and has been for about an hour... i resarted the computer deleted and reinstalled another copy still it says connecting... any helpful feedback will be appreicated!!???!!

Uninstall LW, then delete the LW preferences folder, then re-install LPE. Deleting LW Preferences folder instructions

BTW it might be a good idea to both reboot both your computer & router just in case something else is bothering the system.
