Well try alternatives & see if you have the same problem: 1. FrostWire, ___ 2. Phex (great program!!!), ___ 3. BearShare (earlier version!!!)

I couldnt get limewire working either with just configering my ext port using port forwarding i had to open my int and ext port for limewire in upnp forwarding and chose tcp settings then click enable. I know its working because if i try diffrent listening port my limewire says theres firewall.

i am having soo many troubles. for one i cant deleted the LW perfences but i deleted the whole folder but i cant delete LW pro i duno if that matters though. once i clicked sumthin and my computer went crazii like 19 internet explore windows came up soo i had to restart the computer. soo is there any way possible you can hack into my computer and fix it. this one guy i knew use to make my computer faster that way.

. Delete the LW Preferences folder called .limewire (whilst LW is closed!) & found here: Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 / XP: C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire OR
Windows 98 / ME: Your .limewire folder is in "C:\My Documents" (BUT make a note of all your LW settings 1st, b/c after you delete the LW prefs folder you'll need to reset them.) See sample images below in next post. This process applies to users of 4.9.x or earlier or those who have updated to a later version than 4.9.x & are deleting their LW preferences for the 1st time since updating.

3. * New name & location for preferences folder for LW 4.10 or later: For LW 4.10 or later: Delete the LW Preferences folder called limewire (whilst LW is closed!) found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\limewire

i did number 2 i think but number 3 i cant find out how to do that. sorry im soo slow with computers i did the hidden thing though and change somthing to Windows NT too

tiffanyyy,
Please keep your replies in one place, it's a headspin going from thread to thread with you & it's not going to help anybody with the same problem if they have half an answer here & half somewhere else
Maybe a mod could merge this with
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...459#post230459


Did you update your Java?

To delete the prefs folder: Start by going (in Windows) tools > folder options > view > show hidden files & folders > apply > ok. That's to double check that you do have hidden files & folders showing, cos the prefs folder is hidden.

Now go start > my computer > local disk(C) > documents and settings > your name > application data. Once you're in there, you should see a folder called LimeWire. That's the one you have to delete.

Default TO NeilJ/ anyone else whos good with computers :) - Clearwire Broadband

HI there. I am currently with Clearwire as well. But can not do the port forwarding to download from Limewire (paid account) and UTorrent. The p2p companys say i have to set the router to port forwarding but when i contacted Clearwire about this they said;

"Peer to Peer (P2P) applications treat your computer as both
‘client’ and ‘server’ meaning any information you
download to your computer using a P2P application, is then available for
upload. Once you have installed the application your computer can act as a
server and information is continuously uploaded from it, through our network.
This is in direct contravention to the Clearwire terms of service.

Section 10 of your terms of service state that you may not use the service or
take any action that will result in excessive consumption or utilization of
Clearwire’s network resources. Such prohibited actions include but are
not limited to: using the service to host a web server, continuously uploading
or downloading streaming video or audio, or continuous FTP uploading or
downloading."

Which means in Laymans terms - No we wont let you!-

would you have any idea how i would do this anyway because it seems that you are able to do it. I have the exact same router as you and use a 2Mbs speed.

Thanks NeilJ-- or anyone else who can answer this.

Hi Sean.
When an ISP is making an effort to stop P2P traffic, these fixes usuly are just temporary.
You Have 3 options, Give up P2P, Chase your Tail, or Get another ISP.

This is my opinion, others may have a mirecall up there sleve, PLEASE
Peace.

Don't forget option #4 Blame your P2P program for not working properly.
