No, but tell us your ISP and what firewall and/or router you are running and have you updated anything lately?

I had no probs...

Mine connects but without any basic info its impossible to diagnose.

If y are using limewire use Peerguardian also.

Use Frostwire instead, it's created by the Limewire team but it is completely free.

So is limewire. And it's probably not Limewire that's the problem anyways.

I can't get Emule or Bittorrent to work since the problem in Taiwan, I suspect our OP is in a similar situation

Give it a couple of weeks, got a nice email from KSC (our ISP), says sorry for the inconvenience but little else.

Until the internet connections are a little more restored believe you will have such problems. I was able to download update from Taiwan to a voice program today after not being able to do so since the quake. So things are getting better each day.

I second that. Limewire on Mac OSX hasn't worked for quite sometime. Just downloaded Frostwire and it works great. Finally some fresh blood for my Ipod library.

Since the internet cables were fixed Limewire is now blazing fast. On a 1Mb connection l'm often downloading at 110-120KB/s, faster than ever.
