Default Unable to connect

I have read a lot of forums and the major problem is that after upgrading Limewire to 4.12.6 it doesn't work.

How can I get the previous version?

Any ideas - as it used to work a treat and I haven't got time to mess around anymore, as I have re-installed offline, got the latest java and the test works a treat.
