Surprised this works.

Being trying to download a file for more than a week now, but I couldn't because 'Need more resources'

Just did what Sleepless suggested and it started downloading now from 8 hosts, amazing.

What you have to do is to Right-click on the file being downloaded (the lower panel where the download progress is being displayed), and then go to search->search more specifically.

It works

You can also search normally for the same file. Just find it the same way you did when you first started downloading it.

Version 4.9.23

I can do that but then the programme just tells me I'm downloading it already - what is the advantage?

Please get latest version

Just searching and displaying the results is enough, you don't have to start downloading again

OK I have upgraded and now I have that option and it does seem to make a difference.

In the search box what is HASH? if it is the number of uploaders for that file why is it not the same as the number from which i am downloading?

Also I have the firewall symbol at the bottom despite having made limewire an exception on windows firewall, should I worry about this? Will it make any difference?

I don't mean press for download again. This is for when you are downloading a file allready. Don't think you read the previous post carefully. By finding results for the file you're downloading, in a lot of cases your downloadspeed will improve.

hi there,

i'm new to this stuff.

i use win xp sp2 256mb ram, norton anti virus 2006, 64 kbps connection speed (cable connection) and can download @ 8 to 10 KB/s a 700mb file using limewire 4.10.9 pro

i would like to know whether i could increase this speed somehow ?

please help me.

That's about the best speed that you can expect from a 64kbps connection
