When I try to search on limewire and click the Download button, nothing happens, the bar is going across like it is finding songs but nothing happens. Also when i first press search a pop up box comes up saying limewire is currently connecting to the net, my search results may search may not return many results until i am fully connected to the net. Are these connected and how do I resolve them both?

You're not fully connected to LimeWire until you see light-blue bars at the bottom of the screen that say, "Turbo-Chaged", that's when it's ready to download stuff. Also, go into your options and re-check your settings, you may have something configured wrong. Or, it may be that you haven't allowed access to and from the net through your firewall, it could be blocking the program. Make sure that it is allowed access.

Turn Off Your Firewall This Will Help And Then Wait Until You Are Fully Connected To The Net Before You Start To Download

Yes, I think you've gotta wait til you get a few green bars on the bottom left of the screen, so that it has connected to the network. The bar will go across and it may seem liek it is searching but it's best to wait until you are fully connected to the network before searching.

check the bottom right see if your online at limewire if the bars are red then your not they have too be green full up
also the file your trying too search for may not be on limewire
search for a music file put in britney spears and see if that works
you have to see it for audio or video

Sorry to put aside your actual question...Listen..
My Dear Friend,
First of all, Limewire is Hard Spyware. It will demolish your entire computer system and throw all your personal information on share...I request you NOT TO USE LIMEWIRE AT ALL.
Better to use Bit-torrent software or more better buy a affordable CD/DVD.
Take care of your computer more...It will take care of you in coming days.
Expecting Success...Always.

Sounds as if your limewire isn't actually connected to the internet. 1st thing you might want to try is to Check your Firewall settings. (( It's possible your firewall is blocking all communications with limewire )) Only other thing I can suggest is to reinstall Limewire.

http://www.limewire.com/ is the most used free file sharing site. make sure you have anti virus running before swapping any files. the free edition of avg available from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/ does a good job. once you have installed limewire do a search for limewire pro. then install this and delete the original. pro is faster.

If you are on windows xp check your firewall settings as limewire will reques port usage. make sure it is allowed port access otherwise it will not work
