Download option leads to browser Hi, I'm using limewire basic and it was working perfectly fine until a few days ago. I used it in the morning and left it open (unused) to the afternoon. Everything seemed fine til I tried to use it in the afternoon. When I click 'Download' it would open a window in my Opera Browser saying invalid address (http://./). It never happened to me before and I don't know how to get it fixed. I hope someone can help me with this problem and thanks in advance! Edit: I tried deinstalling it and re-installing it several times but the same problem occured. |

It sounds to me like you've been hit by the sponsored type results. Put sponsored into your keyword filters. The LW beta 4.11 has introduced an anti-http downld option to stop those type of search results. See Sponsored Results (click on link) & I guess also see action metadata problem/bug/vunerability (sponsored results!) |

thanks for the quick reply =) I tried both deleting the preference folder and filter but the problem was still there. But by now I realised it only happened to certain files and maybe its a sponsored file after all. Sorry for the trouble, I'll just try other options I guess. |
