Respect To The Senior Members
 

SORRY SEEMED LIKE THE BEST WAY TO CATCH YOUR EYE...

I USE LIMEWIRE. I DONT DO MUCH DOWNLOADING BUT I DO MAKE MY DJ MIXES AVAILABLE FOR UPLOAD. I DO SEEM TO GET A LOT OF HITS BUT NO-ONE DOWNLOADING. I ASKED MY MATE TO DO A SEARCH FOR MY MIXES FROM HIS COMPUTER, WHILE I WAS LOGGED IN OF COURSE, AND THE SEARCH STRING CAME UP BLANK. SURELY IF IM LOGGED IN WITH 28 MIXES ALL WITH THE SAME DJ NAME IN TITLE AND HE SEARCHES FOR THAT NAME, HE SHOULD GET 28 HITS......NO. AM MY BEING STUPID..DO I NOT QUITE HAVE MY HEAD AROUND THIS P2P THINGY....I HAVE OPENED UP ALL AVAILABLE BANDWITH TO UPLOADS


MANY THANKS FOR ANY REPLIES

P.S. SORRY IF YOUVE HEARD THIS TOPIC A MILLION TIMES BUT IT IS DAMN FRUSTRATING

DJ SUBSONIC

GENUINE RESPECT TO ALL MEMBERS SENIOR OR OTHERWISE WHO TRY TO HELP US NEEWBIES OUT

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

Did you configure your firewall so it allows LW full access (advisable not to have 2 active firewalls b/c they can interfere with each other); Firewall configuration instructions (click on link)

Make sure you have plenty of upld slots & available upld bandwidth for DC/browsing.

If still prob's after this then:
Can you give us a total desciption of your set up:
1. OS version? (eg: Windows 98)
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. What version of Limewire (LW) & Java do you have? (Go to LW's menu Help>About LW...) Will show both LW & Java version.
9. Who is your isp provider (Internet Service Provider)?
10. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.

CHEERS

Let's try an experiment. Send your friend a magnet link & see if he can downld it. See how to create one here: How to use Magnet Links & Direct Connect All your friend needs to do is copy & paste the link into their browser & LW will open & start downlding it (that's if LW is the default magnet handler.)

YEP TRIED DIRECT AND MAGNET AND THEY BOTH WORKED FINE


ALTHOUGH I FORGOT TO ASK HIM AT THAT POINT TO TRY A SEARCH AGAIN

From what I can see there's not too much wrong except the popularity of the files. People can downld from you without problem.
