I had that happen to me once. It turned out to do with the network (I was at college). When I switched over from limewire to frostwire that helped most of the time.
I'm assuming your internet still works.
You could look into setting exceptions to your firewall. Just make sure that when you are downloading you are careful because there are a lot of trojans/fake music files.
Always make sure there is a bit rate, and the title isn't suspicious (lists several artists is usually a sign)

they both harbor spyware and trojans--never disable ur antivirus protection
un install java and reinstall it---if u can't in normal mode do it from safe mode with internet

VIRUS YOU SILLY
it is firewall or your antivirus stopping what needs to be stopped
man my sis killed one of our computers by doing that since of out of date anti virus software and too much downloading.
LIMEWIRE IS A VERY WEAKLY DONE WEBSITE
HALF IF NOT MOST OF THE SONGS VIOLATE COPYRIGHT.
and frostwire is even worse.......
