Hello there..my name is Deloriesj and I am new to Gnutella. I have Windows XP Media Center 2005. I have used [basic limewire] for about three years now(no problem) and a couple of weeks ago I deleted it and monday decided to go with LimewirePro. I had nothing but trouble wasn't able to download anything at all. I also kept getting the same disk problem error...I went in my system defraged and that did nothing so I deleted files from my hard drive-NOTHING..I searched and searched the forum and tried everything I could think of.......Finally I came across this thread...thank you so much..I went to options and then the transfers...this is where I slid the bandwidth bar ---> all the way to the right to maximum my band width. I have been working on this for three days. Thanks again for the help.

My first post.

I've been using the old version of limewire for over a year with no problems - mostly for video downloads via torrents.

This week I downloaded the new version and paid extra for the Pro version, however in trying to download a video I've got nowhere, it will not download this is the first time this has happened. I'm 97% complete and it's taking me 5 days to get this far - usually it takes less than 5 hours.

This question may already have been answered (i.e. I need patience) but I've never had any problems before - if I don't use torrents do I have to wait until my required video appears in my limewire search?

Help!

Only if anybody shares it on Gnutella. However, torrents & gnutella networks & files are totally different. Your torrent file will not continue via gnutella. There may be alternative or equivalent version as the you are downloading via torrents.

Hello Group,

I am currently using Limewire v5.1.12. What were you thinking? I do not think there needs to be a share with friends, or email connection in this software. You should have put your efforts into designing search features, downloading and uploading faster. What happened to sqearching by album? What happened to searching for artist? These are not availabel as you may think. There are some files that appear when attemptign to do specific search that make no sense.

I do agree with some of these users that LW v4 had a better search feature and that is what you shoudl have worked on and not adding email and friends.

Also, I have tried several times to write to this group and no response. I am hoping for better this time around. When you pay for money for a service getting a reply to questions should be expected.

Have a good weekend.

If you want to give feedback about LW 5, post over at the LW forums. The developers will see your post there (the helpers here are volunteers - we don't work for LW) There's a section for comments about LW 5. LimeWire Forums

You can search by artist or album in LW 5. Click on the All button > Advanced Search. If you click on Audio, you'll see text fields for Title, Artist, Album, Genre etc. And if you just do a general search, you can refine the results to show only the artist or album that you're interested in. Once the search is underway, type the artist or album into the 'Refine Results' text field... then only those results will show.

Birdy,

Thank you. You gave me more helpful information than the FAQ's.
