My OS is exactly set up as the one mentioned above. I am having the very same problem and have been using LW for quite some time, only a couple days ago I noticed that files having the highest percentage of hosting with high speed connections were not being downloaded to my PC at rapid speeds as in the past. After a long wait of about 60 seconds, the status would change from "connecting" to "searching more resources" but the resources fail to appear and the whole entire transfer process is void.

I have done nothing different and have checked all of my LW settings. Everything is the same as before but still not able to download files, which should download instantaneously with my high speed connection. I have written to customer service twice and here is the response given, which is not satifactory at all. I hope someone in the forum can help to correct this issue. I paid for the LW Pro service and would expect to get my money's worth.....thanks all!

LimeWire is software that allows users to connect directly to other users'
computers, via the Gnutella network, and share files with them. It is not a
music service, we do not have any members, nor do we make any such indication, anywhere on our website.

We have no foreknowledge of, nor control over, what users decide to share over the Gnutella network, we do not place any files on the network for users to download, nor do we make any guarantee that you will find the files you are searching for.

Firewalls are not the cause of every LimeWire issue. "Need more sources" is
already addressed in our FAQ:

Please provide a clear, detailed description of your problem, so I can better
assist you. In addition, if you are getting an error message, you will need to
include it in your response, exactly as it appears on your screen, as well as
the exact moment at which you received the message. To learn about peer-to-peer filesharing, and the Gnutella network, please visit:
