eatartichokes007, are you using OS X's built-in firewall? (I know for sure Panther has one, but can't remember for Jaguar and am not ready to go back to it just to check it out).

If your firewall is on then that's the highly probable reason you're having difficulty connecting. Forced resume is when you press the Resume button (particularly from the Lib window ha the worst effect.) Force resume: Initially those files will be queud for a long time, if they connect then good but for the others: then Waiting # amount of secs for Sources (it sends out searches every few mins over a period of time), & ends up as Awaiting Sources if it can't locate enough sources to dwnld from. This 'can' not only effect your connection but it's also not healthy for the network b/c it floods it with continual searches. I don't believe this is your problem however. Murasame will be best to guide you thru the firewall issue. |

PLEASE HELP!!!! I recently ran Yahoo Anti-Spy on my computer and it listed LimeWire as adware. So I uninstalled LimeWire and went back to my old link and downloaded it again and reinstalled it. But now when I double click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The same thing happens when I try and open it any other way. Please help!!!!!!!!red |
