There are known hosts that will browse you as soon as you open LW up and every single occasion without downloading, those hosts were added to the Security block list.

Yes it does sound like you are being targeted. Sounds like a USA address but I might be wrong (possibly Nth/Sth Carolina.) If super suspicious, then ban the host. Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Filtering and scroll down to bottom of list, this will show the host's address. You can select it and copy-paste into a text document. Send me the host address via Private Message. I would prefer this to remain private for now at least until I can check the host. Also send me the name and version of the program they are using. You can find this out via right-clicking their listing in the Upload window and select View File Info., then click the Transfers tab. At bottom of the transfers tab it will display the program's name and version. Oh, you need to have uploads set to not auto-clear unless they are still downloading from you.

If you cannot copy-paste from the filter list then you may need to type it manually. My Mac version allows me to copy-paste from the list.

Gosh ,sorry , i sent that before i read your last note .

Does your Vista firewall allow blocking of ports?
I can assure you, any host using port 27016 is a spam/hostile host. This is not the host you mentioned but this is one you seem to be connected to or is trying to connect to you.

Port Block instructions

If you don't mind, I will edit your post a little to remove some information such as an innocent host of which should not be identified publicly on the forum.

My gnutella port is 34772 ;

my bittorrent ports are 6881 to 6889 ;

my vista firewall allows me to open a port to get through the firewall but it is silent about blocking ports ;

As far as checking who is connected to you, try this CurrPorts: Monitoring TCP/IP network connections on Windows

Last two numbers listed in LW's upload window will give you the last clue.

Unfortunately I do not know anything about VISTA, simply presumed its firewall would be more similar to Windows 7 than XP.

BTW if you want to make a host address permanent ban with LW, what I do is add /32 at the end of the number. I clear a percentage of my banned hosts out after a week or two, and some within a day. If I see the /32 at the end of the address I know it is intended to remain. The /32 is the CIDR format for representing just a single host.

Wasn't sure where to post this where can I find the proper link for limewire? I'm using windows 8 so which edition of java should I use? And will limewire connect or will I need to somehow fix it? Again sorry if I posted in the wrong thread......Thank you for any help with this issue.

Try the first post of this thread, on page 1. There appears to be a Java 7 shortcut fix and seems to work. LimeWire works fine in Windows 8, but you need to install Java first because Windows 8 is not packaged with Java unlike previous Windows versions. Java for LimeWire needs administrator permissions from what I've learnt.

I just want my songs. Wanna hear me sing them? :P

Hi can someone tell me if Limewire Pirate Edition will work on Android? If not, any good p2p alternatives simular to LPE for Android? Thanks.

LimeWire PE (Debian package) appears to not install on latest Linux distros due to an unsatisfiable dependency: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk. I think maybe there's a way to say it need these packages OR LATER.

Kudos in advance to anyone whose smart enough to solve this issue.
