The first thing you could try is to delete your " .limewire " preference folder (Point #2 & 3 in Fixes for Limewire).
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=36420

If that doesn't do the trick, come back here and give us your system and LW configuration:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
11. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.
12. 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?

It depends how long you have had LW Pro. LW Pro gives you 6 months of support & free updates. I presume you bookmarked your personal pro downld page, most people do. Alternatively, I presume you still have a copy of your pro installer.

To give you any helpful advice, it would be necessary for you to answer the questions I've asked in my post above.........

Perhaps the upgrade to Pro has put too much strain on ZoneAlarm.
Try uninstalling ZoneAlarm, reboot and try your downloads again.
