I have used LW for years on DSL, and never had a problem with seeding and downloading. I am now using a 5Mb cable connection with ethernet, and now my LW download speed is horrible. I have done all that was given in the sticky threads and still no resolution. I have downloaded the DRTCP021.exe but not sure how to use that. Need leet help.

I'm having a similar problem. My search results look like this: Pet Deet (0/214) Porter Sellars (0/243) Wet Puppy (0/33), -etc. Zero available for download.

Running OS-X10.3 on an old 400Mhz Blue Mac, and basic (obsolete) LW. As an old school Mac geek, I thought I could maybe reinstall the Ap., and delete my prefs. Not true. Unfortunately, OSX isn't nearly as friendly as OS9 was for experimenting with extensions, etc.

Oops, you might be waiting for me to supply the rest of my config info in order to help me in the least:

SWBELL ~ DSL, {E10/100, with -198.162.**- basic default,} to this main computer. Addtl networked iMac runs my main iTunes library, and I work like a bugger just to get these few files into that library without making endless copies, and save-as versions of the iTunes Library. I downloaded a helper Ap for synchronizing them, but the (free) Sync Ap doesnt run on this obsolete, X-10.3.9. Everything worked perfectly, partial files are still downloading, sporatically. Worst case, I could kill this system folder and start over. {I really have the most fun working on these old boxes before giving them away to impoverished kids! Heaven forbid I would actually use a computer for real work.}

Impoverished kids LOL. I have done the pref. folder delete...didn't help any. I think my issue is with port communication. Sadly, I am just a noob to all things Mac. I guess we will just sit here and wait for someone to help us...

So.....nice weather huh?

Beautiful HAARP weather, and no chemtrails. We've got kids that floated up here after Katrina, and a crazy hacker that put together a homeless center for them that has generated all sorts of 'big brother' like volunteer support from our church. We spend, like $15. on State salvage PC's, and teach kids how to assemble them, though not all work. I've used every imaginable means to out think these Windoze ones and found that shareware is the only way to go when teaching/learning about basic hardware issues.

I'm hoping someone will explain all this port nonsense. The sync device is looking for me to create an I/O pair of ports so as to make any library match. Of course, just making the indexes match doesn't mean the file is actually transferred. Mac is obviously cowing to the RIAA, making their hardware an imbedded portion of that loop. ..One freakin' iPod per user??

I am semi-clarivoyant (but can't spell, aka dyxlexic,) tell me more about your config and let's hypothewise the situation 'till real help arrives!

I had DSL at first and surfed 99% of the time on WiFi, and with the initial LW DL the router configured itself with UPNP. Now that I am cable with ethernet, I can load LW but cannot get ideal downloads. I'm almost certain it has to do with a port
I'm using UPNP still, and tried manual port fwd.....annnd nothing.

When I started, I was using the cable modem at our workshop but someone said "Limewire won't work." These machines are mostly running Windows XP, and so I used Bearshare and dealt with .rar files and something called ".7" -whatever, ((a .rar extractor.)) and of course, found nirvana in the simplicity of the 'torrent' scheme, --when it all worked. BUT, along came the Trojan., Then, only "Spyware Terminator" proved more successful than a big claw-hammer to fix that. BTW, it's free, and finds more partial bits and worms than any of these other Aps.

Your Networking panel and any connection doctor ('ping'ing) procedures should work as simply as mine do on this Mac. Their "Connection TEST" here reports OK?

Neither of our questions were answered. I'll be blunt. When the search results look like this: (0/243) = WHY???

BTW, if not for LimeWire, I would never have heard all these cool demos, like
Quelque chose en toi <*** Yeah, yeah, yeah. France is still groovy, baby!
