Before, I could download music files from LimeWire, and everything worked fine.

However now, I have a problem.

I am connected to the internet, and once I have searched something (eg. "Iron Maiden") the screen loads up as before. Once I double click an option (eg. "2 " 2******t"), and it appears at the bottom, my trouble begins.

Under Status, it says "Connecting..." for a couple of minutes, then, it changes to "Need More Sources". I know this cannot be, as there are roughly 50 people with this file. I then tried downloading other versions of the song, and other songs, but the same thing happens.

Thanks for any help!

As a test try going to audio and search for 2 minutes

I got a 128 kbps file of 2 ** in less than a minute

It's the result with the most hosts (96) using LimewirePro 4.9.37

I by the way have no firewall issues so if you do you may get less

I'm using LimeWire Basic 4.12.6, so it's different. I tried downloading what is probably the same file - 48 hosts, 128kbps. Speed - T3 or Higher.

It just stays "Connecting" for a very long time then changes to "Need More Sources"

I mean try to search for 2" and see if that changes anything. There are so many spamresults popping up lately that there is no way of telling if it's a Limewire problem or a spamresult problem

Oh right ok. I'm trying that now. I'll report back in a couple of minutes...

Thanks for all your help so far.

EDIT: I see why you said search audio.....

EDIT2: There were 45 hosts for me.... trying to download now.

EDIT3: Oh my Lord it's working. How did you do that? What tips do you recommend for finding the right result the whole time?

Thanks!

This one says year 1984....but it's also Track no. 0 from the CD....

Yes thanks, I have managed to download both 2" To ***t and R****s.

Is a good way to only type in half of the track name?

sometimes. Depends on the spamresults. Maybe I should put that in my guide

Have a look at this Guide (just bookmark it cause it's long)

I'll have the forum administrator have a look at this thread and if this is not allowed then don't be shocked if it's suddently gone :wink:

Hmm I have both of those on video tape for personal use. Good songs! Sorry we can't mention them here.
