Question
i have recently registered and am having a few problems connecting to LimeWire. I have been through all of the firewall checklist and everything seems to be fine on that note, however when i try to connect through the program, the search button is accessible for a second or so, then greys back out. I have tried to delete the preferences in my LimeWire folder, however there arent any there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Default no connection
I have been using suprnova for a week no probs. Yesterday I get a begging message to help pay for the work done on bittorrent. I sent $10. Next time I tried to get on I was hijacked to this old kazza site renamed suprnova but stillGnutella. I thought ..ok lets pay for it and I won't have any probs. I paid $44.90 to morphus.com by paypal.

Guess what. Yes you are right. I can't connect to suprnova at all now. I am using Limewire as instructed. on a n XP machine through adsl.

Somebody put this right please. After paying for the service the least I expect is to get the thing working.
Excuse the tone but I am a bit p45767ed off.
Thank You.

Dennis Webster
PS How many suprnova sites are there?

Get your money back! Damn ripoff artists. Limewire is open source and FREE! Looks like a few fly-by-night outfits are scamming people.

See this thread for more abuse stories: one of the LW business managers also looks in on the thread, and they aren't happy about what those other sites are doing too. You should repost there too.

Actually, it does work all you have to do is this:

goto: my computer/ Drive C:/Documnets and settings

your Main Identity that stores everything/ then

there is a file that will say .Limewire

Delete the .Limewire file Folder

Then start up LimeWire
it will create a new .Lime Wire file when you restart Limewire wihout that Folder

It will start right up... it worked for me, and i have win xp

Default Limewire just doesn't work period.
Why doesn't limewire admit they have a major problem with their new version and find out what it is, fix it instead of asking people to figure it out themselves through deleting limewire files reinstallling and port numbers.

I have a Mac G5 and it simply doesn't work. What other programs are there besides limewire for the mac?

Because they can't control the problem(s) of people unable to accept incoming connections. If the mouthpiece of your phone is unscrewed, good luck finding people to talk to you.

LW does work for many. I've LW installed on a G3 (OS 10.2.8),G4 (10.3.3), PPC (Mac OS 8.6) and they all work even at the same time. Took a lot of help to discover the ISP filters, firewall and router blocks, but it works.

for a list of gnutella clients that are connecting this hour, see http://www.limewire.com/english/content/uastats.shtml.

Sigh.

Well, i am feeling the same as you about all of this stuffing around. I wasted x amount of dollars to purchase the Limewire program (which i think i may have been duped of) and have since been using Kazaa instead. Am not sure how compatible this is with Macs but i am finding it fine to use and it costs nothing. If you are only looking at downloading music, dvds, programs etc, this is the way to go.
Good luck - hope this helps.

folks, i'm sorry you are having issues with getting limewire up and running. be assured that in the majority of cases LW works just fine - there are a myriad factors (extra programs on your computer, ISPs blocking gnutella, etc.) that are hard for us and/or beyond our control to deal with. if you are a PRO customer, feel free to email support@limewire.com for personalized assistance.
