i give up!
 

Have version 1.20.....sure it finds the songs, but is always searching, searching, searching.....busy, busy, busy, never to download a single song. Have Aimster, never, ever a problem.

And how do I clear my search entry history?

click the button that says clear search history in preferences.

When downloading files, get files with the highest source as these will most likely be the "real" file and the fastest to download.
