I did delete the file folder and reinstalled the Limewire suggested on here. Now what's the next step?

The LPE package now includes:
(1) instructions. (2) File_Girl's LimeWire-Fix2 installer which will prevent LW deleting your connection file if not used in 30 days. (3) Choices between security blocklist installers to block out the very worst spam and ddos hosts, these are optional installs but include a connection install within the installer. (4) LPE program installer.

Next step would be to install either of the security packages or else the LPE ConnectFix. The latter will be more up to date than the one provided with the LPE package.


On a side-note, the security blocklists were preliminary releases. I have updated them since and they have grown in size but will not re-release them until I downsize them slightly. LimeWire 5/LPE versions have much less memory ability than the prior LW 4 versions so I am trying to be careful in this regard. Light security and Medium security options, obviously the Light one will require less memory use.

I don't see a "Connect Fix". This is what I have.

I just realised you downloaded the MacOSX version. oops You will need one of the Windows versions.

I guess I'll have to start from scratch. The 4 share isn't the one to download? Which one is? I'm confused, because there are so many options to chose from and as I mentioned in a previous post, the first download didn't work.

I was downloading something that had nothing to do with Limewire.

Try this temporary link Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: LimeWirePirateEdition_Win.zip

Or for 4Shared, LimeWirePirateEdition_Win.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download but use the blue Download button, not the green down-arrow which would download the 4Shared Desktop app.

I can now open Limewire, but still have the same problem as I orignally did. It says "connecting" and the bars on the lower left are blank.

What's the next step?

Or download a fresh LPE ConnectFix copy from the Link I gave yesterday in post #278.

I am guessing Francais is the language you speak at home?
