Higher Dl speed and better search engine with pro 4.8.1? YEAH, RIGHT! I naturally bought the pro upgrade, since i like movies, and dl speed is crucial when it comes to movies about 700 Mb's. A more precice search engine would also come in handy, i thought. Well,- here's the search result for a Steve Martin movie from 2003: And as for dl speeds,- well; i have set my conn. speed to T1, since i've got a DSL connection of 2 Gb/ 500 Mb's max. Still i'm typically downloading from 3 hosts at a total speed of 1 Kb/s! I don't think that's too impressive, and it's NOT suited for dl movies. And i have tried dl through the Peer-web site,- about 25 different movies. Yes,- the LW window opens and the search begins, and ends! I always get the message: "could not dl. Not enough sources". All in all, i'm not very pleased with Limewire for the time being. |

What your image doesn't show is the sources vendor. The slowest downlds tend to come from Shareaza (RAZA) b/c raza works on more than one network & often only offers a pittance for uplding for the gnutella network. You can right-click the top of the column to show vendor/version of source. This might help: See the following link & follow all the off-shoot links to find hints & extra skills to help solve your problem: To continue files downlding (click on link) |

I tried the "repeat search-trick", and that really did help a lot! - It triggered/forced the dl process to continue! But still i think the search results are a bit funny. They contain absolutely none of the key words, and have absolutely nothing to do with my search what so ever. |

When i first bought pro, it was version 4.8.1, even though i upgraded from basic 4.9.11,- that's the reason for the misunderstanding. (I said this in my first post in the tread). Second; There's no need to be rude. We don't all have English as our native language, and misunderstandings do happen, you know. |
