Basic Searching Problems

[Donzo12345]

I guess this is pretty stupid but I can't find the answer...

Why, when I search for a song or movie, I get all kinds of listings that seem completely unrelated to the search phrase I entered ?

It's called spam!

Happy downloading

No there's lost of downloadable stuff. It's just not what I wasked for - or related to it. I'm assuming I'm not searching right or need to use quotes or whatever. But I can find any options or info about this kind of stuff.

Okay, all of it isn't spam. Did you read the links I gave you?

[Donzo12345]

I did look at the links and didn't see anything obviouslyt relavent. I guess I just expect it to be easier to use. I don't want to get a college degree just to get maximum use.

An example of my problem. I search for video/ dvd movies/ and the text "planet apes" without the quotes. (planet of the apes). I get listings for all kinds of movies and porno and whatever. I don't see any reason they should all appear unless they are 'dvd movies'.

[Donzo12345]

I forgot to add. If I search for videos and leave out the
dvd movies" I get tons of listings for planet of the apes but ALL of them "need more sources".

Sorry, I honestly can't explain why Limewire returns all the results that it does. By applying what information is provided in those links, however, you can make the most of Limewire.

Since there's maybe 15 minutes of reading material, there will be no degree awarded.

If you read through those links, you should easily be able to avoid (or minimize) the 'needs more sources' message.

Good Luck
