As Wonder Why suggested, you need to give details of what LW version you are using and your complete system. I use LW4.13.6, which is one of latest...might help. Refer you to Max Up/Down Success (Sticky - Leeware) for basic configurations...there are four important ones which help a lot. If that doesn't help, chance your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is throttling your bandwidth DOWNLOAD. Some throttle UPload so you can't share at your signed-up speed, while some throttle DOWNload to make it almost impossible for you to receive files no matter how fast the sender is; eg..T3. Thats all the advice this junior can give; some seniors will likely have much more in depth help.
Good Luck, caseybob

Default downloading problems

hey i'm new here so i'm VERY sorry if this has been discussed somewhere...
this is driving me crazy.
When i do a search with LimeWire a warning comes up that, in my estimation, is slowing things down to the point of almost stopping.
\"! only search results with a (lock) are an official LimeWire communications\"
This warning never came up in the past...and i've never had problems with the service. Now i do.
i cannot download songs now...or it is extreeeeeeeeeemely slow.
Ive tried enabling, disabling firewalls...installing and reinstalling the program. nothing helps.
Any tips?

That wouldn't be the problem as that padlock notice you see at the top of your searches is to notify you of a particular search result that contains a virus...
It's a 75.7 KB .exe & shows up as "Urgent LW update - download & install now". If people download that thing they could end up infected. To try to prevent careless people from downloading a dangerous file, the warning banner was added to LW's interface.

The padlock symbol doesn't apply to music or video etc, only to LW updates...

Could you supply these details please, so we can take a look at what might be slowing you down...
