I had to and downloaded Kazaa and using it!

Dear LimeWire users,
I'm sorry that the fix I proscribed isn't working 100% of the time. We have released a beta that tries to address the issue. You can read more about it here:

When I try to connect the red light flashes green then red. I have upgraded and paid for Pro but it will not connect, I already deleted pref. folder did not work. How do I change the preference to manually connect when I uncheck the box it resets back to connect at startup. How do you make the uncheck apply?

Click apply when you make the change.

There is not an apply button to click on???? that is why I can not make it stay unchecked???

I'm using Limewire with an OSX but could not connect at no time. I tought I'm having problems because at the moment I'm with a dial-up connection (in couple of days I should have ADSL)! I quit Limewire removed the document from the preferences and restarted, but still a negative response. I would love to work with Limewire, cause it seems to be what I've been looking for for quiet a while now. Please help me, it would be much appreciated.
NB: Would there be the same problem if I turned to Limewire Pro?

Are you firewalled?

If so, open up port 6346.

Steps:

1) Launch Limewire. See the new "Tips" dialog box? DISABLE the show-tips-at-launch checkbox. Then click "ok" and hope you never see that box again.

2) Go to LimeWire Preferences and disable the auto-connect at launch option.

3) Quit Limewire. Then relaunch Limewire. Then manually "connect" from the menu. Voila!

I surmise that the new Tips box is interfering with the application's ability to connect!

Ohhh my gawd - thank you - that was the whole damm prob - the freaking tips lmao
