I've got limewire 4.0.10 (i think) for Mac OS 9.2. Whenever I try to download anything it says need more sources under Status and even when I go to find sources it doesn't help. This happens for EVERYTHING no matter how many sources there are.
Also, my shared folder contains over 150 items but limewire says that I'm only sharing 0 files, is this a connected problem?
Please Help!

Do this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

If still problems after this then please answer the following details:

1. 1st time for any problems?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)
6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?
7. Where are you trying to connect from (home, school, work, etc.)?
8. Who is your isp provider?

* Go to LW's menu Tools>Options>Sharing & make sure your share folder is selected. You may need to refresh the library if you add new shared files.

Some hints:

* Choose files to downld from the search results that have 3 or 4 stars & multiple sources under the # column.

* After opening LW wait 10 to 30 mins or more before using. Let it settle down 1st. In OS 9 LW can take quite some time to load all the incomplete & the shared files.

* To continue files downlding

Also, I checked that limewire is attempting to access the right shared folder and it is. And I tried leaving it for 30 mins and it didn't help.

Oh yes I forgot the OS 9 version LW reads the bug report horizontally instead of vertically. That makes it very difficult to read. But it will be there. You'll need to scroll to the far right from memory.

Um as for everything else, read my hints very carefully b/c they do work.

To double-check your shared library, go to LW's Library window & select Shared, & then press the Explore button & this will open the folder up for you to check. In OS 9 the shared files can take almost forever on some systems. On mine I was sharing 1/3 the amount I was sharing in OSX on the same computer, but it took over 2 hrs to load them all whereas OSX takes 15 mins. If you downld or add new files to the Share folder, then you'd need to press the Refresh button for LW to account for these new additions.
