I'm not sure when this problem started but all of a sudden Limewire will connect but will not download anyting. Instead of downloading, the words, "awaiting sources" or "need more sources appears". I've tried lots of things and I know how to configure my firewall and I am also using a linksys wireless router. I am using Windows xP with 100g ram 1g memory, A brick sometimes apears in my limewire window. Can someone please help

1. OS version? xp
2. What firewalls you have? windows firewall
3. How much ram? 1g
4. Hard Disk space available? 44g
5. Connection type? cable
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers? linksys model. befw11s4
7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, work, etc.)? house
8. What version of LimeWire (LW) & Java do you have? 4.12.6
9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)? comcast
10. 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? Your test worked
11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up. NO
12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user. Old Problem, I ususally just revert to an older version but the problem reappears
13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?yes

To save you a little bit of time with dealing with comcast, comcast's basic hi-speed internet allows for a maximum of 4MB in both upload and download speeds. They do not limit p2p applications or put a squeeze on the bandwidth when you're using p2p programs. There is also no monthly limit as to how much you can download or upload. Hopefully this will save you an hour or two in dealing with the fine folks at comcast .. I spent about 2 hours with the tech people on the phone last week while they tried to find answers to those relatively simple questions. Good help is hard to find apparently.

1. Be sure UPnP is enabled on your Linksys device: See upnp section here Connection problems? Check here first! (click on link)

2. 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)

3. Have you checked with Comcast to see if either (a) you have gone over your monthly limit, (b) speak with a technician & find out if they are p2p filtering you.

Eveything was working great and now I cant download anything. I have unstalled and re-installed, still cant downlaod music. Can anyone help?

Check the option settings here License requirement (click on link). And go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Downloads & check that the slots is 1 or larger. Also be aware of Beware of Fake files in search results

Thank you for your time.

i tryed this but it stil doesnt work what can i do ?

I tried those options but it still will not download. It literally will not download. I have full bars but no downloading

But they go into your downld window right? But just won't start downlding. Stay connecting for ages & then need more sources. If that's correct then ... http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showpo...70&postcount=4 The files you're trying to downld may well be fakes. Are you able to downld a magnet link from here http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml
