Okay maybe this will work for you or not. I have improved my searching and am very pleased with my Limwire now!

First I Set it for 5 downloads and 5 slots on the upload settings. Then I turned my download speeds all the way, 100% for both up and downloads. Last I had to try new search methods.

I am now "baby-sitting" my searches and editing a search as I go. One thing I found is using a phrase especially for movies is great. Try - dvdrip, now add ".avi" to it and you find a ton of movies, not all good but they are there to be found. Only problem is you need to search at least 12 times in a row to be at all successful. Then come back an hour later and search repeatedly for another 12 try's. It works, trust me.

I have alos blocked I.P's that had tons of porn on them when I used "browse host" and saw thousands of pron files with screwed up name like. S***, but it was a 1k file with a gay porn vid on it. So I blocked the IP of that user, it's all good now and I have blocked about 25 ip's so far.

Keep these topics alive guys and pay for your Limewire, when you can.
