Well, I too bought the new limewire and can't download a thing. I have tried all the things you folks have. What is the deal. Usually can't even find what I search for, when I do, all I ever see is "requery" or on the rare occassion a download starts, it gets about halfway and quits.

I counted 29 ads while my message was posting... no wonder it took forever. Almost as bad as the program...

Hi, I have exactly the same issues. My old download of LimeWire six weeks ago worked great. Now the updated Pro get no downloads and only shows seconds to go (which it keeps repeated) or 0 hosts. Everything else works but this, the most important thing.

Have you found a solution? Please tell me.

Thanks

If you do an re-search it helps and some of the files resume the download...

I have only just started using limewire .. because gnut usually doesn't download now (must be some of those new clients with 'advanced features') .. anyway, here is a tip based on my experience:

I can usually download, if the host is willing and the item hasn't been queued too long.

It is when it is queued for a while that this requery bullsh starts, so ...

1. I set number of simultaneous searches quite high (for me 10 is quite high) so I can keep old ones open and run parallel searches for the same guff

2. When I find a likely source for some guff I like, I leave the search like that, and move onto another search window to continue to look for the same item, but a better version/faster source

3. But first I cue up the item I want. I make sure I don't cue up many items at a time, and that way they don't stay there too long and start this requery bullsh.

4. When an item has been cued for a while, say if the requery time >300s, I kill the download out of the cue, and recue it from the search window which I have left open for that purpose.


** Note for any developers **
This sux, and the requery time should never clime above 400s. Some fool obviously just set it to double every time it fails whatever the f*** it is doing.

What is it doing anyway?

Me again .. PS I don't know if it actually helps get the things downloaded. But at least I don't see Requery sent wainting 6123s for reply!

What a ridiculous time to wait for something! That's like 6 hours!

Killing the ads is easy....... try trashing lime prefs if your in os 9.

but not much - must be some dodgey clients out there won't allow uploads or something ;-)

I had every single download problem mentioned on this thread. It all started when I downloaded the latest version of Limewire Pro. I had multiple Q & As with Limewire service and support, but nothing helped. THEN I DOWNLOADED LIMEWIRE BETA and ALL THE PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED! The download speed was faster than ever and all the softwares functions worked. I run a Mac G4 and G3 with OS10X, so I only hope that downloading the new BETA will solve others users' problems too. Good luck!
