Don't use limewire.

Switch to torrents or newsgroups.

Spywire is for kids that don't know any better. Use torrents.

Limewire will not connect until you update to the newer version, but I agree with others- switch to torrents. Pick from a list of torrent programs, like bittorrent. Download it and install. Now go back to google and type in what you want followed by 'torrent', there are alot of sites that arn't legit though, Piratebay is a good site to search on. once you find what you want click 'download torrent' and your torrent program will start downloading it

that's weird, everytime my limewire wouldn't connect it was because I needed a newer version. Anyways, looks like torrents are the answer
