Yes limewire is connected. I doubt it's unlucky choices, because no downloads will connect. Yes I did allow contentfiltering. Should I not have? And I don't think I messed up the licence issue. And I tried deleted the incomplete folder with no luck of my downloads working.

Now were getting somewhere.

I have never had it on and am not going to try it either. if there is no option to disable it (try reverting pop-ups to default if there is no other option to do this) If that doesn't work either then

Delete Limewire preferencefolder while closed. (.limewire) if you can't find it use search on forum

Then when youre asked on setup if you want to use contentfiltering say "NO WAY"

That may very well be the root of your problem

Now this is puzzles me as well. Starting to run out of ideas.

Go to tools>options>bug reports and copy/paste it here. You have to use Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C to copy as right-clicking does not bring up Windows commands in Limewire

What to copy/paste. :S There is just an example bug report, and the options of how i want to send them.

Well I got a couple songs to download. My limewire apparently just doesn't live download any acoustic versions of Round Here by Counting Crows. None of these will still ever connect. If it's not too much work, wanna try downloading one and see if it will connect? It says there was 80 users or so, so I don't know why It wouldn't. But this song still will not start downloading, no matter which one I try to download. :S Everything else seems to work fine.

I just downloaded the newest limewire, and I cannot download and have the brick wall icon. I've gone through all the firewall and connection threads, and nothing solved my problem. Here's the info that is asked for in the others... Any help would be great.

Windows Xp (SP1)
Limewire 4.12.3
Java 1.5.0_06
Windows Firewall
Linksys Router (Model BEF41)
COMCAST.NET
Cable Connection

I've had limewire for a while, and just downloaded the newer version and got the problem. I cannot make a connection with Limewire. Have the brick wall too.

Looks like you have searched for both artist and songname at the same time. A lot of spammers are targeting the network. And that's one trigger. The 80 hosts are all fake.

BTW: The example bug report is the real bugreport, but it looks like there is no need for it now

Sorry for the long wait. Have been working a lot of overtime so I haven't been very active on the forums.

Have you found the answer yourself If not then please answer these as well. Just leave the ones out that you allready posted

1. What's your connection like - do you have any green bars at all?
Is there a brick wall in front of world ?

2. Do this test & see if it works. What does it say ?
http://www3.limewire.com:6346

3. What are your details

OS ? (Win XP, Mac OSX etc.)
LW & Java version ? (In Limewire press Help>about LW & you'll see)
What Firewall you're using ?
Modem/router brand & model ?
ISP (Internet Service Provider) ?
Connection type ? (modem, DSL etc) + Speed Up/Down if you know
Where you connect from (home, school etc)
Are you sharing a connection with other computers
Has Limewire ever worked for you ? If so how long have you been using it ?

Have you tried using any other P2P apps & if so, do you have the same problems ?

Also include any attempts to fix this. It helps people rule things out
