Downloading problems

Hi.
When I want to download a file, I click on the file name, then click on the download button.
From there is will say "Queued" then it will say "Connecting". :mad:
It will only stay on connecting, and won't let me download the files I want to.
This has been going on ever since I downloaded LimeWire.
I tried turning off my firewall, but that didn't work.

:D xxrainfallxx:D

Can you give us a total description of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

Hope that helps, apart from the RAM part.

Your router seems to have an internal firewall:

Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router
The Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router offers features similar to those of the Belkin Pre-N router but with slower performance. On the upside, it's also less expensive.

I assume you see a brickwall in front of the small globe in the bottom right corner.
