Torrentspy and Limewire

phoenix182 · #1 (**permalink**) December 17th, 2006

Hi, I used to use Morpheus but have since switched to limewire.
When I go to download a torrent from torrentspy.com it usually opens the torrent in the program (limewire, morpheus etc.) and begins to download.
However with Limewire it opens the program but it doesn't even show up as being downloaded at all.
Can someone help?
Thanks

Save the torrentfile to eg. your desktop and then drag-n-drop into Limewire. Haven't used Limewire for torrents much so I can't really tell you much more about it.

They need to seriously rethink the options before I start using it for torrents.

nope the drag and drop didn't work unfortunately but thanks anyway!
what did you mean about rethinking the options before you use it for torrents? I'm completely new to limewire so just wondering if its the program I should be using?

I share some really rare torrents and need to see the amount of seeds/peers to prioritise which to upload and which ones I can stop without leaving the torrent with no seeds.

Also Limewire has no option for making torrents.

I use Azureus for that and Limewire for single files.

If you have enough bandwidth and RAM then there should be no problem running both at the same time. Just set the allowed bandwidth for both programs accordingly.

With that said Limewire is being worked on always and I'm sure these things will be fixed in time.
