Need more sources
 

I suffered a hard drive crash, and lost everything I ever had. I rebuilt my computer, installed all the programs I love and use all the time.

But now....all I now get from Limewire is 'Need More Sources'. I haven't gotten a file in over 2 months.

You used to be successful with Limewire...i.e. you know how to avoid fake files, etc.?

What have you tried, what is your setup, etc...

Yea.....I've use Limewire for years, and never had this problem till now. I even got a few files since my rebuild. But then one day (a couple months ago), I've gotten nothing BUT 'need more sources'.

1. OS version?
Windows 98(1st edition)

2. What firewalls you have?
AVG free (7.5.432)

3. How much ram?
192 MB

4. Hard Disk space available?
714 MB

5. Connection type? (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.)

6. Modem & router brand name & model numbers?

7. Where are you trying to connect from (house, appartment complex, school, student accomodation, 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.
Limewire 4.12.6; Java 1.4.2_13

9. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider)?

10. Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there?
Your test worked !

11. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
No

12. Is this a your 1st try at LW or is this a new problem with an experienced user.

13. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface?

Try deleting LW's preferences & see if that helps. Limewire should be COMPLETELY closed. See points 2 & 3 in the link below.

Fixes for Limewire

FYI...This will reset all of your settings in Limewire.

Also, you might want to get a newer version of Java. Be sure to use the OFFLINE installer. Here's the link:
