Glad to hear you got the UPnP up and working. Different routers place the UPnP option in different locations.

Two ways you can change the Java to administrator. But you need to be running Windows 7 or Vista. If running XP or earlier, there's no issue. Either right-click the Java installer and choose Run as Admin., else to do it manually with the Java app., see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tallation.html

Could be various reasons your LW is freezing up at times. If you could supply a system config. for us, we can look it over to see if there is anything that might be related to it. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-you-post.html Also tell us which version of Java you are using.

Also, (1) how many files are in your library and (2) how many incomplete downloads?
You can get those details from (1) top right of your library window. (2) Far left top of your downloads window.

Oops sorry I became distracted and temporarily forgot. I was too tired when I first saw your post not having slept for almost 30 hours, then became distracted the following day as soon as I logged in.

A fellow member suggested maybe your Norton Security Scan is having some effect. As the files are downloading it's continually scanning them. Perhaps try temporarily disabling the Norton Scan to see if that improves things.

Personally I cannot see anything wrong with your system set-up.

A thought passed through my mind about both your LW and Java being set to Run as Administrator, but I doubt that would really change things if your LW is running fine otherwise.

Only other thought but probably not relevant is if you are running the router wirelessly. But I sort of doubt that would have so much effect as continuously temporarily freezing the downloads. Running Wirelessly is traditionally reknown for inconsistent bandwidth. But how much so varies between brand and model and set-up.

I had Limewire Pirate working up until a few months ago, when I took my laptop in to be fixed. I reinstalled it and now it won't even open up. I click on the lime and the the picture of the pirates and the window opens up, but that's it.

I have Windows 7 and my laptop is only a year and a half old, brand new when I bought it.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it up and running again? Thanks!!

Did you upgrade to Java 7 in the meantime?
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post348148

If the problem is not Java related, try deleting your LW preferences folder: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/window...tml#post183932

Also make sure LW has a firewall exception.

Another possibility is another security software you have installed is blocking LW from opening. You would need to put LW on that program's exception list.

Well installed Java 7 and uninstalled Java 6. Clicked on the Lime and got a message that I needed 6 or higher to work Limewire. Put 6 back in, still get the same message and now I have both 6 & 7 on my laptop.

I don't understand about deleting the Limewire folder. Is there a simpler way to explain it?

You need to go to your Control Panel and open the Java Control Panel. Click on the Java tab and press the View. You will see what Java versions you have installed. Disable Java 7 and make sure Java 6 is checked.

To find the LW preferences folder. Go to Start menu, type LimeWire into the search box. You should see a LimeWire folder listed under files. Hover your cursor over-top of the specific listing and it should specify the location. C\Users\your account name\Administrator\AppData\Roaming
If you do not see it listed, click the Files name to see more results. If it is not any of those then you will need to change your view settings to find it unfortunately, even if only temporarily.

I am mainly a Mac user, maybe a Windows user has a better explanation or technique to find a file or folder that is inside a hidden folder.
This is the only way I know. To change the options of viewing files and folders via the Organise menu. If you find the folder in question, right-click and send to Recycle Bin. If you had incomplete files, you could return the Downloads file from the recycle bin back into the new LW prefs folder after your first session of using LW again.

I took out Java 7 and put in Java 6 Update 35 64 bit and Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 35 64 bit and I still get an error message saying I need Java 6 or higher.

What is with Limewire? It never used to be so complicated.
