Limewire Problems(Poor search results)

[justin15]

Hello, Im sure this is a question that many have asked before but its really starting to get to me. I haven't got to download any music in over a year, and now that I really want to again, its bothering me big time. Anyway...

When I open limewire (version: 5.0.11) it loads and boots up, then I wait for it to connect... and wait... Finally, I'll get a medium connection, wait, then full connection. However, if I search for something, say "******" which I remember searching on other P2P Networks before, and right away, I'd have 100's of results in seconds. Now, If I search ******, if I wait about 20 minutes, I might get one or two results, and when then when I try to download them, I can't get anything.

Can anyone help?

I'm running Windows XP SP2
1gb ram
AMD Turion 64 (2Ghz)
Wired/Wireless connection (Wired 95% of the time)

I am behind a router, but I changed the port to be open to 5000, and open it up on my router as well. I have no firewalls, and even the windows firewall has been disabled.

Please someone, help.
