I was wondering if anyone knew how to eliminate ghost files from your searches. These are files that when you click on them, nothing is there. This used to happen in WinMX but the way to avoid getting them was to enter the : ) symbol after the song/movie you were trying to get. Anyone know of any way to stop them on Limewire? I have been using this since WinMX shut down, but have recently downloaded the newer version of this on a new computer. Any help would be great, thanks!!

How to find music

Thanks, but I already know how to recognize them (especially if they have like 50+ source sharers and also using Bitzi) What I am trying to do is get the legit files that I know are out there. Like I say, in WinMX you just had to type the : ) symbol and only valid files showed up. Is there a way to bring up only the true files on here?

Sorry, but there's nothing like that to type into LW.

Don't know if you've already tried it, but the junk filter can help. It takes a bit of time for the filter to be trained This is a long thread but it has some useful info.

If you're using the latest version of LW, or a version older than 4.13.0, you can use Aaron's hostiles list...should stop some of the crap from showing up! Read more about that here.
