Limewire

try setting limewire to port 48350, it usually works best for me around that region, if you have a router make sure that the port is forwarded to your computers static IP

 

try bearshare.

 

I'm surprised they haven't closed this thread yet...Soon Enough

 

they both run off the same network (gnutella) so if limewire is blocked bearshare will be too, same goes for frostwire which is practically identical to limewire but with deceteralisation

 

How do i change the port limewire is set to im only asking questions its not illegal or nothing

Merged Post:

Okay i learnt hw to change it nw what are some port numbers which will work for me!

Yes i have a router

 

it should work best on a port above 50000

 

Okay im on Tiscali and our router is DG834G

 

ok, first set up yourself a static IP adress
static IP
then go in to your routers page (open your browser and in the adress bar type in 192.168.0.1) and login.
by default your login will be

Code:

username: admin
password: password

in the left hand menu click on services
then in the new menu click on add custom service

Code:

name: limewire
protocol: TCP
port start: [limewires port]
port end: [limewires port]

now click on the rules option
click add

Code:

service: limewire
action: ALLOW always
send to LAN server: [your static IP]
WAN users: any
Log: never

now click submit and reboot your router

now it should be sorted,
