How to Get a Stable Connection for Limewire 1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet and are not downloading anything else from other programs. If there are programs open that you are not being used--close them. You should also check your taskbar to ensure Windows is not downloading any updates. This will slow your connection speed down. 2.Open Limewire from your desktop to launch the program. Give Limewire 10 seconds to determine your connection speed and load correctly. 3.Check your connection strength towards the bottom left-hand side of the window. They will become green once you have been properly connected to the Limewire server. 4.Put your cursor over the green bars. Limewire will tell you how strong your connection is. The more tall green bars you have--the more stable your connection will be. 5.Go to the menu and select "File." Click "Disconnect" if you have an unstable connection. Wait for 15 seconds before reconnecting. When you have been reconnected, your signal should have strengthened--depending upon your Internet connection speed. Repeat this process until you have as stable a connection as possible. 6.Get a faster Internet connection. This should only apply if your Limewire connection is still unstable and you are having problems with staying connected to the server.
