Question

Answer 1

It could be a firewall blocking the connection. I also recommend you dont use Limewire or any other P2P File Sharing Application because you probably have/havent heard FBI tracks illegal sharing of copyrighted material. So if you download from Limewire you have a risk of getting the FBI pull up to your front door and get fined upto $250,000+ depending on what things you downloaded illegaly. Dont download songs from Limewire. Just go on Youtube>search for your song>put the link into http://flv2mp3.com and convert it>download it! and best part is that its legal. Its better than getting arrested/fined by the FBI for such stuff. If you want to watch movies that are in theaters already dont download them illegaly watch them on

Answer 2

you might have a firewall blocking limewire from accessing the internet. i had this problem too. just go to what ever security program you have and grant limewire full access.  

Answer 3

delete it immediately last time i had lime wire it gave me a virus its loaded with them
