New to Frostwire and could use some help
 

Ok, so I just recently downloaded Frostwire because Limewire is on vacation for a while. and I am having similar problems to when I was using Limewire Pro. So when I search for audio files for example, I get very limited search results and most of the time, no results at all. I use a Mac and I really cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong..any suggestions anyone? all help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Do you see a firewall icon?

BTW if you are still an active LW Pro 5.5 user you can still use LW Pro up to LW 5.5.10. LW 5.5.8 & 5.5.9 pro mac links are provided on the forum.

Generally it's an ultrapeer issue. For LW 5 that would be to go to your Advanced Tools menu & remove the longest connected ultrapeer. Wait a few minutes. Do another search. If same issue then remove next longest connected ultrapeer.

BTW the longer you are connected to the network, generally the better any gnutella program works. :) Spam OR dud ultrapeers (dud meaning like a black-hole, do not respond to search requests; suck in the information but do not respond) are often quick to get you connected to the network initially.

For now, remove any 5.5.8 Limewire connections you see in your connections window. All were spam or dud ultrapeers in my test tonight. ;) For FW it's the connections window under view menu from memory.

where would i see the firewall icon?
and yes my "subscription" to limewire pro is not yet expired but i did remove the program from my computer. am i able to still download one of those versions of limewire and if so, where can i find the link?
like i said, i had this problem with limewire before and it was suggested to me (i believe by yourself, lol), the longer i was connected to the network the better the program works, and this proved to be absolutely true and it totally worked for me...but unfortunately the same thing doesnt seem to be applying to me for frostwire. help me please!

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/mac-os...link-here.html LW 5.5.9, 5.5.8 & the beta 5.6.0 are all pro versions but only work in Pro mode if you still have active Pro registration on your computer. Worth a try. ;) The main improvement in 5.6 beta from memory was re: torrents but there may have been other ones also.

Sorry but I never downloaded the LW 5.5.10 pro OSX version unfortunately. Nor did I download the pro version of 5.6.1
I have earlier pro versions of course. 5.5.6, & earlier.

just wanted to say thanks again. i downloaded the beta limewire version and it seems to be working good so far.
