If you are getting "connecting" which will eventually turn to need more sources, this is due to the fact you are most likely trying for fake files. These appear a ordinary files but never download. Try for files with under 20 or so hosts and your chances of a good download will be increased.

Tell us also if you have a brick wall in front of the globe at the bottom left corner of Limewire. There will be one when it opens but should dissapear after a few minutes.

I don't think this is the "licence problem" you read about.

As far as copyright files are concerned. If you can buy them in your local Music/video store, or on Amazon, you can be sure they are copyrighted

Answers probably here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link). The problem is either a software firewall not properly configured for LW, or else a modem/router with internal NAT firewall with UPnP not enabled or without UPnP support or not port forwarded instead, or your ISP.
