I've been using limewire (basic) now for quite a while and it's been great. But today none of my searches return valid results... just 5 listings for stuff I don't want... ringtones, iPOD ads, etc. No matter what I search the same type of results, always 5 listings within a few seconds and that's it. Appreciate any help...
