How nice for Limewire that all of us purchased the Pro version and now we cannot connect. I run WinXP Pro and have (like many many others) tried all the "fixes" suggested in this thread, but none have worked. As suggested in the above note, I tried to download bearshare just to prove that it's not a problem with my ISP or my computer -- and it works LIKE A CHARM.

How unfortunate that we must jump ship (especially after having already paid Limewire which has a no refund policy) and now we must resort to paying for a service that actually works

I just downloaded the new 3.6.15. Is the 3.8.3 even newer? Am I going to have to download newer versions everyday?

No, you don't have to download a new version every day. We are just in the process of upgrading our client. 3.8.3 will hopefully be the last release in the 3.8 series.

3.6.15 was released over three months ago. 3.8.3 was released yesterday, and was the first public (non-beta) release since 3.6.15.

Your solution seems to work for me. I downloaded beta 3.8. closed all limewire (including turning off auto-connect), and renamed .limewire.props to limewire-old.props-old.

Connection ok. I shall return.

Thanks

Default For those who can't connect

Sorry, I forgot to tell you my OS. It is 10.2.8 I have searched the computer for

/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

and I don't find it. Where is it located? The Finder cannot find it. Oh yes, I did put in my user name, and not "your_username".

Limewire was working fine one day, and the next day I could not connect.
