Well if any1 would please tell me how to get more hosts....because I've been looking for it and searching a forum about it but I didnt find 1 yet...so i made 1....:yahoo:

Keep searching. Change your search criteria. ie: change the words in your search. Perhaps even change the search type such as All Types search which can sometimes bring up different results. Search artist, search title, search album, try browsing those with similar or same music. Look at these tips for music: How to find music. Similar applies to videos but ... with exceptions. Searching partial titles. Sleepless is also good at finding videos to he will be a good one for input here. ;)

No, im not trying to search more...i get over 20-300 hosts for the file but i want to download atleast 20-300 hosts...u get it? I just want more hosts so my downloads can be faster...right now and orignnaly on all limewire versions "10" is the highest hosts you can have...I want to have more...there was a way 2 but i forgot how....

The maximum hosts are set by Limewire who are mindful that they are the most used client on the network. You will get a couple more using pro but 14 is the maximum using pro with a T3 connection. If users could download from every available host, the network would be unable to take the strain. Remember that you are governed by the speed of the uploading hosts. I think the majority do not have T1 or T3 ..

Also, well first let me say that my connection is wireless lan, and i was getting the 10 host limit. Im not sure if it would work for any connection, but in the options where you select your computers internet connection, set it to T3 or higher. I did and now im getting to the 14 host limit. Not sure if my connection would be equal or greater than T3, being that the usual stable connection speed (in my house) is at 24 Mbps. The max (at least i think it is) is 54Mbps.:idea:
