Ok I'm getting sick to death of limewire not connecting to hosts. I'm talking about double clicking on a file and it says:

Connecting (25 hosts tried)...

But never actually connects and downloads. This is happening for 80% of the files that the search is returning. I've tried using Aarons hostiles.txt, doesn't seem to make a difference to the results or the downloads.

If anyone has solved this, please for the love of god HELP ME! Before I smash my damn computer up!!

EDIT: Forgot to put that I have downloaded some of the files inquestion before. They'll have identical file names and I have searched to re-download them after I deleted them or whatever...

They're probably fakes. See: Fake files showing up in search results

Try changing up your searches. Instead of searching for the full title just search for one or two words from the title and add the last name of the artist. A lot of it is just trial and error. There's no sure way of knowing if a file is fake or not. Just keep searching and change the keywords in your search. Fake files can be a real problem. Try searching at different times of the day, new hosts are always logging on and off so what you can't find now you may find later.

So in other words, there's not solution. Trial and error is not a solution. I'll be ****ed if I'm going to spend hours filtering out other peoples **** manually. They need to fix this problem.

End of Limewire for me until this is fixed. Arrivederci.
