SLOW (or no) downloads

[Formap]

Hi,

I'm a new member with the forum, but have been subscribed to LimeWire for a long time.

When I first subscribed (a couple of years ago I guess) I used to be able to download ANYTHING! Now, I can't even get an audio request to download.

I can understand LimeWire trying to protect software makers from piracy and I'm not arguing that fact. But I paid for certain rights to download SOME programs. If I can't download any programs because of software piracy regulations, then what did I pay for?

Every time I try to download a program, I get a virus alert (using AVG). So either LimeWire put this "virus" on all programs or EVERYONE is putting virus loaded software on LimeWire. Even as cynical as I am, I find it hard to believe that everyone's software is tainted.

Now, I've been trying for three days to download a song -one song. And everytime I get "need more sources".

When I search the song list, I get dozens of hits for the song - (******). I usually click on three or four to try to get a download. Failure every time. I've tried during the day, afternoon and night. I can't believe every computer I hit upon is off or busy.

I'm using a HP a1630n computer (AMD Athlon Dual Core, 4600+) with XP Media. I have a very fast cable internet. I don't have problems downloading or uploading on other sites, so I don't believe the computer or my internet connection is the problem.

Is anyone else having these problems? Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the help.
