So I just started using Lime wire...
 

WARNING: Uber noob question coming up:

So when seeing the songs after searching for them what do the numbers in the 2nd column mean. For instance in the first column there is a star rating for the quality of the download but what do the numbers in the next column mean? And is it good or bad to download a song with a larger number?

Start off by reading these: LimeWire FAQ and User Guide

Also check out the Sticky's within different forum sections...they have tons of helpful info. :D

Also see here. How to find music (tips for video also).

i was getting 70kbs during downloads from 8 host it's only 15kbs now, i have satellite wireless connection. is it limewire, my computer, or my connection?

it could be your connection, the others people connections.
hell could be a group concpericy to bottleneck you.

dont know if you already have understanding but the number is the number of computers with that file that you connected to.

no, its the number of users who have that file...you are NOT connected to them most likely (unless one of them just happens to be a UP you are attached to)...keep trying alhaxit, maybe you'll give a piece of decent advice on of these days (or months....or years...)

how do you know that they have that file if you havent connected to them

because I know how the gnutella network operates....

how do u start limewire......help:aweof:
