OK, I downloaded the new version, but now it cant locate souces to download the installer.....ugh....

what the heck are you talking about ... get it from here http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Choose the "Offline" installer version.

It sounds to me like you are trying to downld thru LW.

I did download it from there. When the installer opens, it says..."downloading installer from 0 of 353 sources...Please wait...If there is no progress for several minutes, please restart installer." Then when I try to reopen the installer, it says Windows cannot open the program, soooo, I redownload and try again that way...to no avail....am I really just dumb, what am I doing wr ong??

Do you have LW open at the moment? If yes, close it. Then try again. The "Offline" installer should be the complete installation with no need to access the net for downlding the remainder of the installer files. Perhaps even close net connection temporarily.

I've never heard of that problem before.

You have downloaded the online installer (the one the says recommended)

The offline installer is just one file containing everything you need.

If using windows then it's the on below the recommended one

Ok, I finally got it to work. I was using the recommended method because, well, it was recommended ? Anyhoo....thanks for all the help e1 . Hopefully smooth sailing from here.

I've used limewire close to a year now and for the most part I am happy , but here lately when you get results you get that annoying site that takes up 90% of your results and you really don't get good results. I have looked at the new version and I see no place to download the new version without paying again. I have pro and for the most part like it but was wondering if you can download more than three at a time??

3 songs u mean?...i do 8 @ a time at most...usually keep it around 4 for speed's sake.

Yeah, 3, sorry for the multi-response..........8 huh, well, what am I missing here??

Well I have the free version and u can set it in the options how many simultaneous downloads to allow. I would have to imagine u have that option in Pro.......Tools, options,downloads, maximum downloads.
