I downloaded limewire a while back, and at the start any music file i searched for, i could easily download. Some files may not work, but generally, after trying a few, at least one would work.

Then after downloading about say 20 songs, no matter what songs i search for, and how many results pop up, none of them will connect.

I stopped using limewire. A few months later, an update comes out. I get the update, and everything works again. After 24 songs, the same problem occurs.

Is there like an imposed limit on how much you can download per upload? So like i have to upload something before i can download again? At first it'll say 'connecting...' then it'll either go to 'Need More Sources' or 'Connecting (xx hosts tried)...' And that'll happen no matter how many songs i try. So if the search returned 100 results, and i try to get all 100 results, none of them will succeed.

I'm certainly aware of the existence of fake files, but when i get ~20/24 working downloads in a row and then nothing after it works, according to my logic, it just doesn't add up to just call them all fake. Also A song that failed with the previous copy of limewire worked perfectly in the first try of the limewire update reinstall.
