Go to your connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
It is also wise to go to your Filters, to find this go to Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...
204.11.219.225
204.11.219.226
204.11.219.227
204.11.219.229
204.11.219.231

Edit: Also add this one, copy-paste into your Host filter:
203.171.192.*

If you're using LW 5, there's no Connections tab. In LW go tools > advanced tools...there you'll see which hosts you're connected to & can right click on a host > remove.

To find the filters in LW 5, go tools > options > advanced > filtering. Add IPs to be filtered here & click ok to save the change.

If your not already, try using PeerGuardian 2. It works like a mini firewall for while your using p2p apps. They maintain block lists that block unwanted ip's. Possibly that's why i havent had that problem. Those ip addresses may already be on the block list.

I haven't had PG2 on all the time (it's being a pain with lists) but I've got Aaron's blocklist in my prefs...

Is it only 4.13 that will except Aarons Hostiles List, or can it be used in earlier
versions of LimeWire.
And for every one reading this, How do we put this into action.

P.S.. 3 Cheers n thanks to Aaron

From what Aaron said it's working for 4.13 onwards. I've been using it from 4.13.0 & am now using 4.13.2

And as for how to use it...
Quote:
LimeWire users:
Place "hostiles.txt", into LimeWire's settings folder.

On Windows : C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\.limewire
Alternate location: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_NAME\Application Data\Limewire
(You may have to change a setting in Explorer to be able to see this folder.
Go to the Tools menu, then Folder Options, switch to the View tab and turn on "Show hidden files and folders".)

On Mac OSX : Macintosh HD/Users/YOUR_NAME/Library/Preferences/LimeWire
Mac Classic : System Folder/Preferences/.limewire
That's what I've done

Everybody should update to 4.13.8 now.
It fixes a torrent bug as well as a few others.

Lime Wire » Download LimeWire Beta

Pro users can get it from their personal download page.
