Is it me or does limewire really suck lately?????
 

It is much more difficult to download anything lately the last 3-4 days.BLA :(

Well, I'll tell you what, LimeWire sucks. Nothing is downloadable. EVERYTHING is delayed. After I paid $8.00, the service totally died. This is absoluterly useless...

You paid for Limewire the CLIENT not for the service!!! You download your files from people like you and me, AND YOU DON`T PAY ME!!!

how to move files from incomplete area in library back to download area to finish the download?
thanks

Slow/No Downloads, bad zip, stuffit files
 

I am a new Limewire user. I would happily have paid the 8-9 bucks if this service worked. Downloads are slow to impossible, the two downloads I have been able to get in two days show a long file name with .zip as the extension, but automatically go to stuffit expander, however, neither winzip or stuffit expander will open the file, giving a message like "cannot write data into a file that has already been opened." This site and software seems to be just one more load of crap enticing you to send money. Why don't you guys do the right thing and help the users you are panhandling from?

You have to search for the same file with the same size file # and it s supposed to pick up where it left off.I just leave the incomplete files in the search area and have a couple of the sme song downloading at the same time.

Agree, service has deteriorated
 

Let me start by pointing out the irony of the Limewire developers asking for money because they all worked so hard developing this original code -- code we use to FREELY download the hard work of others.

What has happened lately? The service used to be terrific. A few weeks ago I could easily find and load what I was looking for. I share about 2000 songs via a DSL connection so I like to think I'm doing my part. Haven't been able to get anything for about 2 weeks now. Searches come back with plenty of results, but the queries run indefineately as they attempt to load up the music. It's as if suddenly everyone closed off their ports or severly decreased the bandwith Limewire uploads are allowed to consume.

Any reason we can identify for the sudden degradation in service? I've even paid for PRO thinking it would be better and that I could lose the money if it toally sucked out. Oh well, I guess I'll go back to buying CDs and ripping them for myself.

Cheers,

Well, Edonkey has been around for a LONG time, so I don't know about this "new" idea and "developing this original code". I'm not sure if edonkey has been around longer then limewire though, but it sure seems like it. It's not the point. I'm a modem user, and so far it seems that most people here that share files over DSL or cable just don't want to deal with modem users. I stumbled on some posts here about "leeches", and even though that for over two weeks I could not download anything that works, not to be a "leech" I'll share what ever I have left after my comp crashed. I can also garantee that everything I'll share simply WORKS.

Yes, I've noticed a suckage of limewire lately (or perhaps the gnutella network as a whole). Lately I've been getting excited when the download will get above 5k/sec! It's that bad! Anyway, I guess its back to audiogalaxy to download that wierd non-copyrighted music, and I'll have to use BestBuy again to get my copyrighted stuff :).

I'm actually having a lot better luck with the new 2.4 version. I've d/l ed a lot more than I was able to with 2.3..Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

Limewire is sucking bad !
 

I bought the PRO version about a week and a half ago because I read good things about LimeWire....

What a mistake.
I was using 2.3.3 and it worked *ok*. Not Napster *good* but ok.

I got some files , fair enough.

Suddenly, today it asks me if I want to upgrade to 2.4.3.
I say yes, it dls some stuff....then it refuses to restart and gives me some lame ***'d error !

I had a dl of 2.4.2 on my HD that I got the other day so I installed that OVER 2.4.3.

Well, it started but what the F**K happened to my search dl's ?????

Is it just me and my upgrade, or is EVERYONE just getting tons of "requery sent, Waiting..." for whatever you try and grab.

I'm on Cable and I am sharing. No one is dl'ing from me and I can't get anythging to dl.

This network is TERIBLE !!!!!

Requery sent
 

Yes, I am definately having trouble now. Using version 2.4.3 for Linux. Almost everything is on "requery sent, waiting.."

I've been dead for a week. No downs no ups. NOTHING! Not a single DAMN THING! Is Lime officially dead or what?

I don't have a pro version. Gnutella seems down. The ads keep popping up with astonishing regularity though.

The pro users can send emails to service@limewire.com .
