I have few question bout LW 4.9.33 Pro which I am using on my iMac OSX10.3.9.
1/ Where is "Junk Button" ?
2/ Why in case of "Multiple Location" Junk, "Block Host" option, block only the first host in list even apply several time this option.

1. I don't think the junk filter was introduced until LW 4.9.39 or later. The junk button is normally found at bottom right of search results.

2. This has been a long term program. Only with the newest version LW's of past month or two have they fixed that problem where now you have option of which ip's to ban.

* Sorry for the late reply.

No problem. thank you, anyway you just gave me the link to downlaod the latest LW for 10.3.9. where the Junk filter is indeed !

Mmmm... Now I have a new problem !
I had to uninstall LW 4.9.33 before (App., LW prefs., Receipts) because LW installer refuse to maket the install.
Since LWd oesn' t want connect: it remains at one bar indefinitely.
Is the same Mac as before of course and I didn't change any setting...
You may see my setting here

LW/Firewall Config.


Mac Sharing/Firewall


Am using OS X10.3.9 with Java 1.4.2_12, no Proxy.

Try turning the OSX firewall off momentarily to see if it makes a difference (before you open LW.) Many osx users don't use their firewall, not suggesting you shouldn't. But it may be the issue. You may need to make another setting for port 16952 for Gnutella. To be specific, add it to the present gnutella setting by selecting it, editing it, put a comma & then space after 6346 & then add the other port 16952. eg: 6346, 16952

Those extra setting port must be add... to LimeWire/Prefs/Advanced/Firewall (Listen port) or to System Prefs/Sharing/ Firewall/Gnutella/Limewire ?

mmmm... I saw I can't add new extra port in LW prefs. So, should be done in System prefs ?

Yes .. I was refering to System prefs > OSX firewall sorry. The image you showed of your LW prefs already shows that port being the one LW is listening through.

But then if using UPnP, that listening port may in fact change from one occasion you open LW to the next. Better check on that.

What brand & model of modem/router are you using? Perhaps it does not have UPnP ability or it's implementation is poor.

About UPnP. I do use the same Mac (Modem and router) as with LW 4.9.33 which was connected very quickly. It means that modem and router was able (and still should be able )
