My firewall is set to accept LimeWire, and so that is not the problem. I have 5 blue bars. I am lost!

1. OS version - WIN XP
2. My firewall is the downloaded McAfee from Comcast
3. I have 512 RAM
4. 37.2 GB of hard drive available
5. I have a cablemodem
6. Scientific Atlanta Cablemodem, Model Number DCP 1200
7. I connect from my apartment
8. I have LimeWire Pro 4.12.6
9. My ISP is Comcast
10. I use Firefox, and when I try to go to this page: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ it gives me a message that says "Problem loading page." I tried it with IE 7.0 also. I tested my network connections, and everything is A-OK
11. I'm not sharing the connection with anything else, just LimeWire
12. This is my first try with LimeWire
13. I don't have a brick wall in front of the LimeWire logo, it's all good.

Right next to the little blue globe it says "698" and to the left it says "Turbo charged connection"

I am at a total loss! I can search for audio files, it just won't allow me to download them

Please help me, I don't know what to do!

Thanks so much,

What happens when you try to download a music file?

Obviously. Didn't you read the headline of my post?

Does the file name move into the downloads window?

If so, does the file say 'connecting' or 'need more sources'?

Have you read this?

Downloading problems after selecting license requirement option

Maybe it's not so obvious what's going on...

It doesn't say anything. It just sits there. As I have already said, I am able to pull up files, but cannot download them. It's quite simple. Five blue bars, it says Turbo Charged Connection. I mean, maybe I wasn't clear, but i can pull up 1,000's of files of different artists, but it says 0 kbs, and so I cannot upload or download them.

And, the site you referred me to, that "Lord of the Rings" posted on? Well, "Lord of the Rings" helped me extensively with another matter, is completely understanding of this one, and guided me through posting on this matter

Try an experiment, try downloading a magnet link from this site http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml & tell us what happens in regards to connecting & downld speeds, etc.

Voila!!

It let me download that file from that site, and then I tried an experiment. I tried downloading another audio file from a different artist - Mr. James Brown (RIP) it would only allow me to download one song, and that magnet file, even though I have it set to 8 downloads (I'd like 15).

But, now that that one song downloaded, I can't download anything else.

I now see the number "1" download" and between "144" and "133 kbs for an upload. I still have a turbo-charged connection, with five blue bars.

Oops, I typed too soon. Now that the magnet file is downloaded, I am back to 0kbs up and 0kbs down Gggrrrr........................................

You're confusing me a little with uploads. Do you mean uploading to another user as seen via the Monitor window or speeds at the bottom of LW's interface. OR do you mean your speed downloading a file? Uploading is when you're sending a file, downloading is when you're receiving a file.

Send us another personal message & we'll see if we can direct connect with eachother or use magnet links.

Ah ... taking a closer look at your port test, you do seem to be blocked from port 6346. Can you go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & tell us what both your connection port & listening ports are.

Open internet explorer & type this into your browser 192.168.0.1 & see what happens. If nothing, then type in http://192.168.0.1 & tell us what happens. I'd like to know if you are able to telnet into your connection device. You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

man yeah i know this doesnt help you but i got the same problem and the other day i had lime wire running. I uninstalled it and everything then i decided to use it again and now it wont download anything, the artist pop up but everytime i click on them it wont download and bring it in to the download box this really sucks :/ hope ya figure it out so i can get helped too.
