Another interesting tidbit: I did a search each time of the connections that LW gives me each time i delete the old ones and everytime the list of files that show NEVER include any of the files i'm attempting to download. Wouldn't LW be hooking me up with connections that have the same file? Otherwise, how exactly would such a host help even if he/she's legit? Another strange observation....

I switched from Verizon to Cox and before I had a "turbocharged" very fast up/down load speeds. Now, when I try doing a search, nothing comes back, and I get a message saying "Waiting for a stable connection" There has been no change in my computer, programs, hardware or otherwise, except for the new modem to the new ISP (Cox) I can reach the internet just as fast as before, my emails work, internet searches are fast, but I can't "connect" to LimeWire. The firewalls settings are the same, so technically, it all should work as before.

Can someone help me, Please!!!

Executivej you sound like you are only connecting to fake files..

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.

Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...This will block known fake IP addresses...

The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

If that fails try using a torrent client like utorrent....
