I have installed the patch and restarted,increased from 10 to 50 half open thingys,it seems to have improved my downloading speed,hours instead of days,dont understand the tech but it works for me,even idiots can use computers!!cheers not so mad now

I have used LW always without a problem. Now I cant download anything - thought I'd better get the latest version and STILL no downloads. Using XP - and getting very frustrated!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr

just droping a line to say how much I enjoy using the software to download (ahem) programs

I have used Lime Wire for years on several machines, lately the connections come and go very quickly the overall speed jumps from turbo to fair to excellent minute to minute. downloads are becoming so infrequent it is not worth it anymore. What Gives?

Hi. Sorry for being an idiot but can someone please translate the above into English for me?

Hello. I paid for LimeWire pro upgarde about a month ago. Now I am using another computer and would like to see if I can get my songs back and avoid paying a new limewire pro fee?

You can download the Mac OSX beta version for windows... It makes the whole thing look like a Mac. Pretty cool

My Limewire is saying there is a firewall. I stopped all my security software from running and I still can't download...the firewall icon is still there.
What can I do?

G'day. I'm stumpyc from Australia. Why do I keep getting the "Awaiting Sources" message when attempting to download a file and how can I stop this occurring?

Hi,

First time poster on this Forum, so Hi to all LW Contributors ....

Have been using LW Pro for many years and for the most part trouble free and great performance. Recently however, after updating to latest version in Linux (Kubuntu 8.04), my search results for file searches has suddenly become abysmal.

Searching for generic files would normally result in plenty of multiple download sources and very quick downloads as a result (1.5Mbps). Lately however, I'm lucky to see a handful of search results and NO multiple sources. I've noticed that even if multiple sources for a file appear briefly, it quickly reverts back to one and sometimes that location disappears as well. It almost seems as though download sources are being continually found and then dropped.

Wonder if anyone else has ever noticed this and if so, were you able to overcome it and how did you do it? It's really frustrating not being able to use my favourite downloading tool....

Cheers All,
Dimal.

i need someone to help me with lime wire this is the problem i took off lime wire 4.16 and put on lime wire 4.18 and now i can not download any music but lime wire says it is currently connecting to network,and it is still not connected yet, i want to know what to do.

Hi mariacarina43,

In the end, none of the recommendations listed either in this forum or at the Limewire forum were of any help to me, including a detailed email from the support tech's at Limewire.

I basically just scrubbed my o/s installation, reinstalled, updated to latest version of the Java runtime environment and then installed Limewire 4.18.3 from scratch. After all of this (a lot of work reinstalling all of my app's and utilities), Limewire then worked properly and has to this time.

Don't really know what went wrong as none of my other app's (including those written with Java in mind) displayed any kind of problem, and for that matter, neither did the earlier version of Limewire? I use Limewire a lot so it was important for me to get it going again, hence the 'clean install' of the o/s.

Maybe someone with a professional I.T. qualification can shed some light on what might have been happening. You may have to grit your teeth and do the same thing I did.... In the end it was the only thing that worked.

Cheers mariacarina43,
Dimal.
