I've been using Limewire for months now with few problems but now I'm having trouble
connecting and I can't figure out why. For 2 or 3 days I've been unable to connect at all
although I've tried several extension sets. I have a Mac and a modem. Any ideas? My AOl is working fine, or as fine
as it ever works. I can access the web too. I tried trashing prefs, and restarting, etc.
Nuttin' woiks. What's up wid dat?
Help,

Downloaded Limewire on my mac and nuttin. I get the limewire logo and that's it.

Down loaded LimeWire and used it for two days no problems at all it worked great. Then on the third day it just would not connect dead as a door nail I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it still dead everuthing I have tried will not get it to connect I have a high end DSL connection any one got a solutiuon????

Well, I've never been able to get a good connection. Limewire starts nicely (allthough it freezes sometimes for 30 seconds) and start to connect, servers coming up. But then they all drop out one after the other, always. And that's it. I never get connected for real.

I've given up hope with Limewire on my Mac (G3, 266Mhz, OS8.6) and turned to Mactella instead. I think Javaprograms on Classic Mac-OS suck generally.

I have a G4 533 DP with my main hard drive partitioned into 3 seperate systems for different purposes.

partition 1 for FCP Final cut can be sensitive about conflicting software.

partition 2 for OS 9 ( latest) AND OS X ( not the updated version- i haven't done that yet)


partition 3 for other os 9 programs that might require an older version of quicktime. I also use this partition to help avoid conflicts with my main partition 2 drive (I have ALOT of programs so I'd figure I'd seperate them as well as I can)
This drive is now mainly turning into my SOUND drive, with my audio recording/burning programs

Anyhow this is how I run LIMEWIRE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS :

First I downloaded LIMEWIRE the newest version for OS 9 &
installed it on my 3rd partition,

Now whenever I want to run LIMEWIRE I BOOT UP OS X
DOUBLE CLICK on LIMEWIRE
this activates and runs mac classic os 9 and Limewire

it connects and I'm good to go. everything works great!

Of course I'd like faster download speeds; the fastest I've seen so far is only 50/k second and I have a DSL line, but I know this speed depends on the other computer's upload and connection also.

The reason I run OS X to run Limewire with os 9 is because my DSL provider doesn't have software that can connect with os 9 ! (STUPID OF THEM, PAC-BELL DSL, SBC) and OS X CAN DO THIS AUTOMATICALLY.

I COULD HAVE downloaded LIMEWIRE for OS X and connect soley through os X (like I do with web browsers) but since I haven't updated my version of OS X, I didn't want to chance it.

BTW, I also run AOL the same way as Limewire: BOOT OS X, Double-click AOL, CLassic starts and runs AOL and I connect.

Q: Is there any way to just search MAC FILES AND PROGRAMS ON LIMEWIRE?

please tell me how to load limewire in ver osx.. i just loaded limewire into os9.2.. also i cannot get it to work..thank you
