One of the biggest problems with people sitting in front of computers is that they don't know how to read _ manuals, that is ! Anyone ever think of reading the 'help' files ???
Most people download the program, install it, and then expect it to work 100%.... _ WRONG! Every program needs to be set up. Every Limewire program I've worked with has similar setups for firewall settings, upload/dopwnload speeds and file limits, etc. People, try 'tweeking' some of these settings until you get a program that works even better than 100%. OH, and remember, you can only download as fast as your ISP connection allows. These stupid internet speeder programs just slow you down, not speed you up ! OH, Yah....and for those who've been having trouble installing Limewire and the program window fails to load, try removing your NVidia video cards and put in an ATI card. I just swapped out 5 different NVidia cards with no luck on Limewire loading....I thru in an ATI pci-e card and the program works perfectly. Some NVidia software doesn't support the newer java !!!
Give it a try !
OH, I may be new to this discussion group, BUT I am into my 9th year of computer and software repair !
