"trap_jaw The new version improved the average number of search results (especially for rare content) significantly. "

but in a different thread you said.....

"However it is very likely that a search will return more results if it is really popular."

So which is it?

Don't get me wrong I really like Limewire, but I seem to have taken a big hit since I upgraded from 2.8.6.

I used to leave my machines on the network all the time because the requeiry feature did always find the files (sometimes it took a couple days, but I always got the file). I can't believe you took that away. This one change alone seems to have made the product useless. That and not being able to configure the number of connections.
