waiting
 

i have had limewire v. 1.4b (windows-platform) for more than a week now, and havnt been able to download a single file yet.

i keep getting a "waiting xs for 1 busy" and than eventually after some time i get a "couldnt download" message.

i am also running gnut on my linux box and get no problems what so ever.

i am behind a firewall on a linux lan.

From what I remember of it if you choose a 'four star' host from your search you should be ok pretty much 99% of the time,best to act on search results quickly though as the hosts might well be busy after a time.

When I first had LimeWire, (I'm on a 56K :mad: ) I had a very similar problem. I <u>fixed</U> the problem by simply reconnecting to the net. I think that LimeWire probably had something to do with it, cause my regular internet was very, very slow as well. Try it. (I don't know about broadband internet, but it fixed it on my dial-up.)
