I've tried alot to see if I can fix this problem, even getting rid of utorrent. The connection bar is at one and it says I have a firewall active but I've checked both firewalls and they both are allowing full access. I can't go to port forward cause I don't have the money for it, I can't check the upnp because my computer won't go to that site. I've deleted .limewire three times and installed it again and again. Is there anything I can do. It's also the same problem with Kazaa and Morpheus.
