When I search (mainly for movies/TV shows) I am returned with tens of thousands of search results, each result having over 50 hosts. I was used to about a thousand return searches on a good day before.

This wouldn't bother me, except if i try to download from any of these returned searches above 50 hosts it displays a 'need more souces' box in the download area. Any below 50 still seem to work, but these are a very limited number (perhas 1 or 2 results which work out of 10,000 which don't!). What I find curious is that altough none of these returns work when I try to download, each one is unique (with different names, types and file sizes), and it appears as if they are genuine files. Does anyone have any explanation for this, or know a way to fix it?

At the same time, no one uploads from me and the downloads which do work take a long time. Limewire will also occassionaly force quit. I am using a G5, OS 10.3.9 (latest Panther), updated java, etc. All prefernces set to default, and for all purposes i'm a 'normal' user (I'm not running the stock exchange or a nuclear reactor through my computer!).

If this is a problem with a simple solution - I appologise. If not, any help would be appreciated. Im just a simple lad with a rather complex problem! Thanks.
