- 1). After downloading and installing LimeWire Basic (if you haven't done this yet, see the link under Resources), open the program from your desktop. Choose your default language and click "Next" to proceed. Follow the setup wizard.
- 2). Choose the folder where you want your shared files to be located. You can choose the default shared folder or browse for a custom folder.
- 3). Choose your Internet connection type. If you do not know your exact Internet speed, select "Modem" if you are on a slow connection, or "Cable/DSL"--if you are on a fast Internet speed.
- 4). Choose if you want LimeWire to start automatically when you start your computer. The program will load on every startup and will be located in the system tray.
- 5). Enable LimeWire to have permission in your firewall or security software. You will have to do this for LimeWire to function correctly.
- 6). Choose if you want LimeWire to scan your hard drive for files you might like to share. If you choose "YES," all media files in the computer will be available in your sharing library. Setup is now complete: click "Finish."
