I tried that (is it normal to have 5 different Java programs/updates to uninstall?), but nothing has changed. Maybe it is just videos...

I never have used Limewire for video. I'm sorry I do know that once I deleted EVERYTHING, because even after doing the uninstall thing from the control panel, there were still little bits and pieces scattered all over my C drive, and did a hard boot, looked for more of the program by going through the C drive one file at a time and then down loading the limewire program and making sure the "connections" part was checked off, it worked. But, I do only use it for music, I guess that makes me a relic. I need to have someone show me how to use the video function. I would love to be able to use my burner as it was intented. I know there's a big stink about what I did but if all else fails I believe in starting from scratch. It's too bad I didn't save the older version, I think they put out newer versions before they're really tested. I'm sorry I'm not more help.

Thanks for trying! I tried the uninstall/install method both ways and neither worked. At least you tried

Thank you. I wish I could've been more of a help.

Is it just videos you are having problems with ???
I thought it was every file you tried to download....

It would be just a case of fake files then, this thread will explain how to avoid them...

Also within that thread is a link on how to use Bitzi...Use it and remember to always use Bitzi before downloading, if it's not rated then it's more than likely no good....

Well, music wasn't working properly for awhile, but it eventually works. I don't use Limewire for much other than videos. Oops, I thought I mentioned that earlier.

I tried Bitzi a few days ago and none of the files that I tried were rated, but I downloaded files that appeared to be the same to a friend's computer previously and those were fine. I know they could be different files, but there should be some good copies of them available and I couldn't find any. Is that normal? I'll try again.

I think your really taking your chances downloading files that aren't rated on Bitzi. At least scan every file with a GOOD AV before you open it.

You might also try searching at different times of the day and night. Also vary your search quary, to see if that helps get better results. If your looking for movies, I think AVI Files are your best bet. Hope this helps.

Hey! I was really persistent with checking for Bitzi rated files and it worked! Or, it has downloaded for 20 seconds. That is more than before. There are an excessive number of crappy files out there, because I tried downloading nearly everything I could find. Thank you for all of your help, folks

I'm having the same problem as all of you. I downloaded some music just a few days ago without incident, and now, trying to use it, it gives me the whole, "Connecting...Hosts Tried...Needs More Sources/Awaiting Sources" bullcrap.

I've tried copying ".limewire." and moving it to the application data folder, but I would really like to avoid completely removing limewire and redownloading it as I have A LOT of music on there...=[

Has no one figured out a 100% fix for this? It's ridiculous.
