I should have made step 1 more clear - you need to make sure LimeWire is totally shutdown before attempting this fix.

Thanks!

OS X:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!

Default connection failure
Every thing I have tried to download sends the connection status as "connecting" then "waiting for stable connection"... Now it is locked up completely... my problems started when I "upgraded" to limewire PRO...
I am furious, I want my money back! Don't go PRO!!!!
Is there any real customer support, someone in limewire I can 'chat' with?
Where do I go from here?
