Default New to Limewire. Problems finding ANYTHING

Hiya, after the fall of Napster I kind of stayed away from all the filesharing stuff (yes it's been a while, I know). So now I am back, I got myself a copy of Limewire for my OS X, and I'm ready to share like a mofo.

So my problem is that my Limewire can't seem to find anything. Don't get me wrong, I get results, but a seach for "nirvana" for example gives me ~10 results. Most of the time it's an incomplete file, or the host doesn't let m have it (not sure exactly what the system is onthe gnutella network, but I assume I'm connecting to someone right?).
Songs are limited, and you can forget about video. I spent hours trying to find an actual film, all you people seem to have is pornography. uugh.

To sum it up: my first impressions of this new peer-to-peer community have been very poor. I am ready and willing to admit I am an idiot and am doing something wrong here. Is there something I forgot to set up? I pretty much tried out all combinations of the settings in the preferences window. Anything else I should try?

What really burn me up is that I'm sharing collection of 3085 songs, and people are having NO problem downloading them.

Anyone who wants to lend a helpful bit of advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.
