bzimmo is flying high
Default Need more Hosts Mac os x

Hi, This is a frustrating issue and I hope someone knows the answer. I have been using limewire for some time now. I have had no problems apart from when trying to download some files.

I do a search for xxxx file and it lists lots of results. The list say contains 7 different files and each says it has 40 with the file to download from. Now the vendor is also lime so I think great easier to download from. But no, I constantly get:

NEED MORE SOURCES

Every single time this happens. I then looked on limewire here to see what could be. I then did the connection test, and found I had the UPP disabled, so I enabled that, and when did test it still came back false. So I followed the guide on portforward.com and did that. Then I get the word without a wall in front to show no firewall is blocking.

So, I do a search again and it is the same scenario??? I just cannot download any files that have LIME yet I am a pro limewire user.

I am using Mac OSX 10.4.5 and have pro.

So why would this happen? Do I need to change any other setting? It is painstacking that after spending an hour getting the firewall problem out the way, it is still the same. Any help greatly appreciated.

Anybody know why this happens all the time? Its strange that it only seems to happen with LIME as the source?

Thanks

this sounds like what happens when you are connected to bad hosts.

Try a "What's New" search, and see if you have the same problem

Oh--what version of Pro are you using?
