Default Problems Downloading

Hi, I have problems downloading on lw. My internet connection isnt the problem (i have wireless), as i am writing this right now. But for some reason, after i type in my search ad hit enter, nothing comes up. i even tried searching popular bands (that i knew there was some songs for), and nothing came up. the bar that the search query was in filled up, and still nothing. any tips?

Try this....
Go to Tools > Options > Searching > Lisence Warning and make sure the box is not ticked and select apply...

If that does not help try going to your Connections Tab in limewire, if it's not showing up go to Veiw > Show/Hide and make sure the connection tab has a tick next to it...
Then click on the Hosts and remove them and let Limewire search for some more...
(try to take note of the hosts IP numbers if the same ones keep re-appearing add them to your host filter...)

Tools > Options > Filters and select the Host Filter and add these IP's into it and select apply...

Try installing PeerGuardian, it will help keep the fake hosts out...Remember to enable PG just before you start limewire up...
Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2

If you're using Vista, there's this PG2 Beta available for Vista users.
PeerGuadian 2 for Windows Vista beta released - Phoenix Labs

PeerGuardian 2:Manual - Phoenix Labs Wiki


Another thing if you are using limewire 4.13 and later you can apply this hostile list...

I am having the eact same problem. There are no details. Everything is set up correctly. Everything that should be checked or not checked is correct. But when I search for a song or artist the search completes with NO RESULTS!!! I WISH i never updated to this version of Limewire because I never had any problems before.

I'm not Mac savvy, but I have passed your question onto our Mac Guru...
Shouldn't be to long before he replies...
