Default Help with Downloads.

For some reason I have attempted to download a movie and come up with a multitude of files as possibilities to download, but I keep gettin the need more sources. It seems unlikely that every single person on the network regardless of whether they come up for search is unavailable. What am I missing? By the way I have been trying to download this file for days.

Ok... so nobody seems to be interested in my thread, but I am looking for the original star wars and I can't imagine why I wouldn't be able to download it, but for some reason every user on the network does not allow its download. Can anyone explain why this might be?

Yes. Spam results

The movieindustry of course does not like it's movies to be on Limewire so they make false results appear. Go for files that have few hosts

For more info use the search on the forum. words like Spam, Overpeer, sponsored, bad results, fake, fake files etc. should find you some threads that deal with the issue

That is unbelievable. I have tried not just a few downloads, but almost everything out there. I haven't been able to find a single "eligible" download with multiple search terms. Any suggestions?

Try searching on google for Starwars + torrent. Then search on Limewire for the part of the filename that is after the name of the movie. Or better yet just use BitTorrent to get it if it's so impossible on Limewire

The reason for all the spamresults popping up is that there are new Star Wars movies released in the last few years

Or just buy it. It should be cheap since it's so old + you probably get a lot of extras if you are into Star Wars
