Have you configured your firewall to allow LW full access; instructions (best to only have one active FW b/c 2 can interfere with each other): http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False? If false then you may have a firewall issue.

Try deleting your LW Preferences folder whilst LW is closed; instructions here: Fixes for Limewire

Some hints:

* After opening LW wait 10 to 20 mins before using. Let it settle down 1st.

* From the search results try to only choose those with 3 or 4 stars & many sources under the #column.

* Don't downld too many files at once.
