Download Problem
 

I just downloaded Limewire onto my new computer and its not working right..or I did something wrong..when I go to search and click on Audio and put in my search criteria it comes up with one result and the number beside the name just keeps going up instead of giving different download options (if that makes sense) and when I click on it to download it tries to download it to my computer under documents and it says its a MP3 file..I got it working yesterday by uninstalling and reinstalling the software but now the one that worked yesterday is doing the same thing..I'm so confused :confused:

Hi jessica_rowland and Welcome to the Forums.
Apparently no one has a good answer for this problem yet, but here are several suggestions from Birdy.

A few people have said the same thing, lately. Some days, I see very few results. I don't know if it's to do with the latest LW version(s) or some other issue. Some people have also seen a reduction in search results when using versions other than 4.18.8. And even with other Gnutella clients.

Have you tried disconnecting the Ultrapeers that you're connected to (click on the Monitor tab > highlight ultrapeers > remove)? Other UPs will automatically replace the ones that you've removed. New UPs can make a difference to the results that you see.

You can mark all those little .zip files as junk - over time, your junk filter will learn to junk them by itself. It's not perfect, but it can save you some grief. This thread is old, but has some good info about using the filter: Junk Filter

There's a hostiles list that you can add. This might also reduce the amount of crap that you see: The TechNutopia Fullsize Hostiles List for BearShare and LimeWire

Have you tried varying your search terms & using the 'All Types' rather than a more specific search?

Which version of LW were you using before you updated? Have you tried reverting back to that version, to see if it resolves the search issue?

If you think there's a bug in the latest LW, you can post at this other forum: LimeWire Forums
The developers don't post here any more, but maybe they'll help you over there?

Hope this Helps. :)

No results
 

I paid for the Pro and I still can't get one song to download. They make it sound like there will be no problem but after getting the money they tell you all what can go wrong.I'm really mad.

Hi Petunia and Welcome to the Forums.

I understand your agitation but LW does Offer a Free Basic Version to try before you buy the Pro Version.

It's Always a Good Idea to try Basic to see how it acts before spending the Money for Pro.

If you would like to Post the issues that you're having, we will do evrything possible to get you up and running. :)

Thanks but I did have the free version .I finally was able to download a few songs today.

I did not change any settings and today it is working...its weird
