In need of DL help

Hello, I'm having some issues with my P2P network. I recently purchased limewire pro, and had been extremely happy with it. However, yesterday my firewall blocked off my connection, and I was forced to remove it and reinstall. Once I got my connection back up and running, anything that I type in the search window comes up with 4 options: bonus track, new single, live version and high quality. Kinda confused as to where to go from here, any help would be greatly appreciated....Kookie

Anything that actually says 'high quality' is usually spam in my experience. I'm not sure about the others. If they are same file size then probably also spam. Virus thread: Typical virus spam file sizes - Make a note of them (click on blue link to see) which is purely a guide for the most common spam. Unfortunately new types of spam & spam file sizes happen.

Well, sometimes artists release albums with bonus songs on them such as an alternative recording from studio or a live performance. This is especially true for older album releases that have been re-released.

Yes sounds like spam. You may in fact be connected directly to an ultrapeer spammer. That happens unfortunately. Try some of the tips here How to find music

Also, in Connections window, find the ultrapeer you have been connected to the longest. Select & Remove. Wait for LW to settle back to a good connection as it finds another ultrapeer to connect to.
