LimeWire Problem..Help?

I have been trying to download songs from LimeWire, but when I search songs in the "audio" section nothing seems to come up. And when I put my mouse over the bottom it tells me that "LimeWire has detected a firewall" and also says "You are currently connecting to the network." I've been trying to disconnect waiting a little bit and then trying to connect again. It's not working, so does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I also have FrostWire which is having the same problem. Can anyone help me? Please, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Update:

I did turn it off completely, that's why I don't understand it. How do I let LimeWire connect to other computers?

Update 2:

I do have FrostWire, but that's not connecting. It doesn't sense a firewall, which is good. But, how can LimeWire sense a firewall but FrostWire can't?

    Oh, they have a customer care number here it is: 911. Tell them you are having problems illegally downloading some copyrighted songs. They will be over right away.

    I've had similar problems in the past. I did a bit of research and discovered FrostWire.

    FrostWire looks and works EXACTLY like LimeWire Pro but is entirely free. It has a nicer blue interface and offers "Turbo-Charged Connections". I think it would be a wise move to use FrostWire instead. It should solve all your connectivity problems.

    You can read the reviews and safely download FrostWire here:

    You're firewall is blocking it from connecting to other peoples computers.

    you should either turn it off completely, or allow limewire to access the internet.
