i recently reinstalled windows xp pro and allso installed an extra harddrive and for what ever reason i cant download anything at all. i put limewire on the new harddrive.

did you click no to the license popup then tick always use this answer? if yes, search the forum for "license popup"

i've tried totally reinstalling limewire on both hard drives and its allways the same thing it never lets me download anything. theres a picture of a firewall in the bottom left corner but when i look in my router settings it says that the firewall is turned off.

and i repeat:

i never saw anything about licence popups

1. Licence requirement (click on link) As ultracross was saying!

2. See the following link & follow all the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link)

3. Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

4. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?

5. Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
6. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
7. What firewalls you have?
8. How much ram?
9. Hard Disk space available?
10. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
11. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
12 Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
13. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
14. Who is your isp provider?
15. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

it was my firewall cause when i just turned it off i can download stuff thanks for all the help guys
