My Limewire won't connect because my ISP has it blocked. Is there a way I can unblock it or change some settings?

Probably not. You could try changing to a higher port, one in the range of 49152-65535. You'd need to change LW's listening port (tools > options > advanced > firewall config), ports allowed within a software firewall & also any port numbers forwarded through a modem/router.
No guarantees that this would help, though.

Check out the thread below too, you might find some useful info

The sure fire way to get unblocked is to change ISPs to one that does not have an anti-P2P policy.

I have tried to download Limewire numurous times everytime it says a fatal connection has occured and internal corruption. Please help

Which LW installer are you using (online or offline)?

Try this: Install Java first. Try this version of Java, use the JRE offline installer & remove your current Java version (if you have one) before you install this one.
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Now reinstall LW & make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).
Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

will this help those of us with blocking isps?

Probably not. Those recommendations refer to the member with the fatal connection/internal corruption problem.
