I've beeen checkin out all the forums for answers and after trying everything Limewire still just stops finding search results. I've tried deleting preferences, reinstalling etc and now am at the end of my tether. I can't be the only one, so where's the answers?.
One guy came close when he started talking about manually setting up proxies to prevent isp from blocking connection but he was talkin about PC. Why can i not get any search results even though hosts are clearly still able to download off me. Please, please, please help, everything was working fine before, now just stopped.-If I hadn't seen such riches i could live with being poor... Cheers!

Shitehouse--How did you know hosts are clearly still able to download off you?

If your java is not displaying results, even though everything else is working "under the hood," try changing the skin to something else (in the view menu).

As Hobo said, more version info about LW and OS X are needed here.

Os 10.3.9 lw4.9.28 latest java download. Search finishes with no results although 'NO RESULTS FOUND' (etc) is not displayed. Not changed any settings. Is it a blag to get me to buy lwpro? THANK YOU FOR HELPING!!!

Oh yeah . I know people are downloading off me because i view their download progress in the Monitor window. (alot of people like smiths dont they lol)

Which isp do you go through?
Is this a new problem & if yes, at what point did it start happening?
Did you install new software over that time?

Set your search preferences to show all qualities & all connection types & set simultaneous searches to at least 5.
Go to LW's prefs>Speed & disable Ultrapeer capabilities.
Downlds>make sure there's several slots open.

Search for something like Let it be or beatles.

ALso try downlding a magnet link from here: http://www.magnetmix.com/video.shtml

Tried all that, no joy mate!
Installed ICQ nothin major.... what a crock. Im with Blueyonder, telewest broadband (isp). Everything was workin fine, shut down for the night and no search results next day. gutted! I appreciate your help LOTR.

Well if you did try deleting your preferences also, then perhaps I was wrong originally. Perhaps the issue is your ISP provider after all. Strange you can upload but not downld. A sudden change where you're not receiving search results sounds to me like what happens to Insight users (another isp.)

OSX preferences are found here: /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire but this file should only be deleted whilst LW is closed.

Another option, set up a new account & install LW there. See if there's any change.

Another option, try Jum's build which is a beta of the betas. It probably won't make any difference but at this point, it's probably worth a try (try the nightly build): http://www.mager.org/LimeWire/ No installation necesary, just mount the dmg & drag & drop the program to your LW program location.
