Do you really need a static IP to set up port forwarding? The reason I ask is because I created a service in my router and allowed it in the firewall rules and now LW runs without the brick wall but my IP address is definitely dynamic. I did create a static IP initially but for some reason my system reverted to a dynamic IP so how could this have happened?

A few TMNet customers have been here lately:wink: Have a look through the threads below for some more info

Somewhere in one of those threads it suggests that TMNet are throttling from 12pm to 12am...were you seeing better download speeds in the morning?

For your connection problem, check out the thread below - you'll find a lot of advice
Connection problems? Check here first!
Since you haven't been able to connect, have you started seeing the firewall icon?
You could try connecting with a higher port, say 64049. You'll need to change LW's listening port (tools > options > advanced > firewall config, apply to save a change). You'd also need to change port numbers allowed through your software firewall & any ports forwarded through a modem/router:wink:

Sorry I should have been more specific, actually I have no problems downloading or uploading but it just seems odd to me that it's working fine (no firewall) from a dynamic IP with just a service in the router.

Hey Birdie,

i have done everything u asked and read all the forums u asked me too, and it didnt help. Ever since i deleted the .limewire preference folder it just got worst by not being able to connect at all. I used the port 64049 still cant connect. so i did a system restore to before i deleted the .limewire preference folder and now it can connect again but at poor speeds. Thanks Anyway Dude.

I just started using mp3 rocket and my downloads dont seem to be uploading. I am not sure if i did something wrong, i would have thought be now they would be uploading, since i downloaded files lastnight???

Hi, I am new Limewire user.
I am trying to download music, the message appears: Limewire is unable to find a license for this file. Download anyway?

I would like to know what would be my answer to this question above

I click on Limewire Basic (free version)

You have to choose whether or not you wish to download copyrighted files. That's something everyone has to decide for themselves, based on their local laws & their personal opinions about copyright violation

If you answer no to the question, you'll find that very few (if any) songs will download!

i download LIMEWIRE and I got two (2) limewire downloads at the same time. Limewire is also opening when i boot my computer. I have tried reinstalling and the same thing happens. can anyone help me so that at least limewire do not start on boot up.

Thanks

i have been using limewire pro for over 2 years, until now i have had no serious problems. now i can find the files i am looking for but nothing downloads. i have windows xp sp2, limewire 4.12.6, i have the latest java, limewire is showing as an exception on my firewall. the only change that i have made recently is to renew my norton internet av to 2007. i am running this from my home pc.

Sorry if this may be redundant, but I've been using the search function and wading through the forums for like an hour and I can't seem to find an answer to what I consider a simple question...

Why do all my downloads max out at 10 hosts? I have configured everything in LW 4.12Pro as best as I've seen anywhere on these forums, but I haven't seen any way to increase the number of hosts I can download from, regardless of how many d/ls I have in progress they all max out at 10 hosts each. I'm sure this has been covered before somewhere in this forum, but its so large and time consuming to search through threads that have 35 pages of posts I'm hoping for a benevolent veteran of the forum to save me hours of searching, any help would be TIA.
