i am sorry, i am still completely confused. I just downloaded limewire today and it has never worked for me. I do not understand why this is such a complicated process. I dont mean to sound rude, but already I am not happy and how can i contact someone about getting a refund? This has not worked for me and i am very unsatisfied that i have to go through so many things to get this program to work. I know its not your fault but I have never had so many problems.

Well, what's happened is you've paid for the free version of LW. So you've got LW Basic which is free. LW Pro costs $18.88 However, some scam sites do use a clone of LW. So I don't know which one you have. See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...5&pagenumber=1 If you purchased it recently then cancel the transaction & tell your C/Card co it was a scam site. Be very careful b/c some sites charge you every mth or 6 mths. Known Scam Sites

I'd suggest you go to the official LW site & downld the proper version: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

I am still having trouble. I created a port or whatever it is for Gnutella to get around my windows xp firewall. Then i tried the port test page and i failed the UDP part. So then i followed the directions and created a port or whatever for Shareaza. The problem is that the directions for both told me to give the port the number 6346 and it wouldnt allow me to have 2 different ports with the same number. What do i do now? Also, i went through all the steps and created shareaza but how do i check to see if it is using the right port and change the settings if necessary?

DO NOT PAY FOR LIMEWIRE BECAUSE YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF.
DO NOT EXPECT ANY CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!

The whole folder. It is possible to delete certain files within, but it is easier to delete the whole folder. Next time you open LW, it will ask you to reset the option which will recreate a fresh preferences folder anew. At the bottom of the following link the giF images show you what to do: Fixes for Limewire
